Better Event/Reminder Notifications
I think there is no disagreement that we need something better than this popup. The question remains how do we make it better, either we improve it where it currently lives or design something new to replace it and whatever the solution is that it bears some semblance of being integrated with the desktop.
Relevant discussions:
General Cases to Cover:
- postponing an event notification:
- snoozing for short period of time and what is that increment
- do we use more meaningful increments of time instead of exact? i.e. "tomorrow", "this afternoon" v.s. "1 hour from now", etc.
- repeating a reminder
- within the same day or daily
- stopping/dismissing the alert
Relevant Implementations
on iOS, notifications related to time-based events give the following actions (when they are not fullscreen, e.g. alarms)
Timers | Calendar Events | Reminders | Alarms |
---|---|---|---|
Stop | Snooze | Mark Completed | Snooze |
Repeat | -- | Remind Me in An Hour | Stop |
-- | -- | Remind Me This Afternoon | -- |
-- | -- | Remind Me Tomorrow | -- |
