A client user accesses content that is primarily textual in nature. A status of the user related to the content is detected, and a notification is provided for display to the user that is based on the user status. The notification is located in a notification area, and obscures at least part of the content, which is located in a content area. The user performs a gesture referencing the content area to dismiss the notification. In some cases, the gesture involves a gesture that the user would normally make to perform an action related to the content even if the notification were not displayed. The notification is then removed from display, and the action related to the content is simultaneously implemented.
