Will the alert only show up if the user requests to see all Deadlines that are coming up within x amount of time? Or will there be a automated timer that handles displaying the alerts?

If we can get brick working, it has facilities for automated timers. Looking at Samuel Tay's brick tutorial we should be able to set up an app that has a tick called every x seconds. In the absence of user input, we can check for upcoming events either every tick or do something like the promotion timer in xv6 and check every n app ticks to see if there are upcoming events.

I guess that would have to fall under a feature that can be implemented only if we meet our stretch goal
