JotAdminNotify: Showing Unmoderated Comment Counts in the Manager

One of the recurring pains in older sites with comments was moderation visibility. Editors could miss new pending comments unless they checked manually. This small plugin idea fixed that by surfacing the number of unpublished Jot comments right on the manager start page.

Why this small plugin mattered

• it reduced the chance of missing comments waiting for moderation
• it made the manager homepage more useful as a daily control panel
• it showed how small Evo plugins could solve real editorial workflow problems

Historical value

JotAdminNotify is exactly the kind of tiny ecosystem helper that made Evolution flexible in practice. It was not a large module, but it improved the manager in a way editors could feel every day.

Why this belongs in the historical layer

Small manager helpers like this are important because they show how much of the Evo experience was shaped by tiny workflow improvements. Not every valuable package was a large module; some solved one problem and solved it well.
