Feature Request: Alarms #15

Open tensau opened 11 years ago

dmfs commented 11 years ago

We'll implement that when dmfs/task-provider#1 is done, since alarms depend on recurrence a lot

Please add support for reminders. I love you app but can't use it without reminders.

Please support alarms! I've already tried other taks apps (even paid for it) just to have alarms for the tasks. I think it's essential to have such a notification in the status bar, otherwise I just miss the task due-date and forget the task at all. Compare it to eMail: What is an eMail app worth if you don't get a notification of new eMails? Apart from having an alarm, the other apps I tried did not work as expected. Your app is really well supporting all my tasks, the assignment tasks-to-calendars is correct, every calendar is seamlessly imported without multiple input of accounts per calendar. I don't need support for recurring tasks as defined in dmfs/task-provider#1, I need support for alarms. Please help in enhancing your app in a way I finally can use it. I wait for it more than half a year! Thanks in advance!

We've already started to add support for alarms in the database backend. The next version won't support manually added alarms yet, but it will have a global option to show a notification when a task is due. This is meant as a workaround until we've finished support for adding and syncing individual alarms.

any update on when reminders for individual tasks might get added? the notification when the task is due is ok, but since i have so many task the notifications become meaningless. would love the open to set a reminder perhaps using the

Mozilla's Lightening extension uses something like this: BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY TRIGGER;VALUE=DURATION:-PT30M DESCRIPTION:Default Mozilla Description END:VALARM

btw... great app!!!

Really want alarms and recurrence support. I'm a Java developer. Do you need help? Not sure how much work it would take, but I could take a look.

mcassaniti commented 7 years ago

As a minimum, can a single option be added for an alarm when the task starts (i.e.: TRIGGER;VALUE=DURATION:PT0S) ? I don't think it would be difficult to integrate this in when a task is not recurring.

Can you also provide a bit of a summary about what is required to get alarms added to the UI, sync and backend?

mcassaniti commented 4 years ago

It seems the blocker for this is now closed. Is there any chance of getting proper reminders added?
