title: Amount of information on Controller Method - Rails
body: <p>I am worried about the amount of information that is presented on a controller method for a dashboard view. Basically this dashboard view shows user informations and activity inside my application, but I think this is quickly turning into a mess, due to the amount of information being passed to the view.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@answered = answered.length
  @asked = asked.length
  @pending = pending.length
  @favorited = favorited.length
  @medal_gold = thanks_received(:awesome).length
  @medal_silver = thanks_received(:great).length
  @medal_bronze = thanks_received(:good).length
  @notification_pending = question_users_not_seen(pending, current_user.user_notification.pending_last_seen).count
  @notification_silver = question_users_not_seen(thanks_received(:great), current_user.user_notification.silver_last_seen).count
  @notification_gold = question_users_not_seen(thanks_received(:awesome), current_user.user_notification.gold_last_seen).count
  @notification_bronze = question_users_not_seen(thanks_received(:good), current_user.user_notification.bronze_last_seen).count
  @notification_asked = question_users_not_seen(asked, current_user.user_notification.asked_last_seen).any?
  @notification_answered = question_users_not_seen(answered, current_user.user_notification.answered_last_seen).any?
  @notification_favorited = question_users_not_seen(favorited, current_user.user_notification.favorited_last_seen).any?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a more elegantly way of writing all this information? I'm only worried about how the code looks, not so much about its performance.</p>
