Description

I usually keep Caprine with window closed unless I chat with somebody. It would be very handy, if I don't had to open the window just to indicate that I have read a message which I already have read in the notification itself just to avoid the red icon badge.

For this it would be perfect to have a "Mark as read" button on the notification.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to add an action button to a notification in Electron using the Notification API, and implement a 'Mark as read' action that sends an IPC message to the main process to mark messages as read.
