Support reminders / due dates #129

Open FR86 opened 2 years ago

FR86 commented 2 years ago

Hey, I'm very impressed with this project and it looks like it could serve me very well as a To-Do app. That said, I've come to rely a lot on reminders and due dates for my tasks managed with other software I'm looking to abandon. I have a mixed bag of tasks, for some it's fine if I see them when I'm actively looking at my task list, for others it's critical for me to be reminded that they need to happen at a specific time.

Would support for reminder notifications in some shape on Android and Desktop be out of scope for SilentNotes?

Thanks for considering!

So far I tried to avoid notifications and alarms, because I feared that this needs a running background service, but it seems that at least on Android this is not the case, see AlarmManager. Another reason is, that its implementation is completely platform specific and I tried to have as much shared code as possible.

It is possible that such a feature will be implemented in future, but there are some bigger tasks on the roadmap first, e.g. switching to another editor. So don't expect it in the near future.

Thanks for writing!

Thanks for the the perspective, much appreciated! Keep up the good work!

+1, very need reminder, as a note tool, reminding should be a basic thing, and need support "work day", like set schedule to "The 1st work day of per month".
