Description
The notification badge for, e.g, a new follower, doesn't reset until you leave the "People" page.
Several issues related to this have been filed, where users think that it won't reset at all.
I propose that the less surprising behavior would be to reset the number when you click the tab. This is how most apps I use behave, and it took me a few weeks to figure out what Keybase was actually doing.

Research direction
Start at the People page and its notification-badge entry point, tracing when the badge count is cleared after visiting the tab. The work is done when opening the People tab resets the badge immediately instead of waiting until the user leaves the page.
