Add in-app reminders

[freaktechnik]

Currently reminders only come in via notification. It would be handy to also have them show up in the app itself (maybe even with the running timer showing, so you know when it refreshes?) for usage when you watch something in full screen and having the app open on your secondary monitory or similar. Or when you on accident click one of the notifications in the notification center and thus can no longer read it etc.

Hmm… interesting idea. Let me see what the elementary HIG recommends. Off the top of my head, it could just show an info bar at the top of the window, and keep it around for enough time for an average reader to read the full message. (Honestly, the system notifications don't stay around long enough.)

Hey @dar5hak

Really happy to see the 2.0 version was launched!
Great stuff.
I was just about to update my 1.3 version, but somehow don't see it in the AppCenter:

Could you clarify how this could be fixed?

Thanks in advance!

@luckydays I've already submitted 2.0.0 to AppCenter, and it is under review by the elementary team. It generally takes a few days for a GitHub released version to show up in AppCenter.

Also, feel free to open a new issue in case there isn't an ongoing discussion for what you're searching.

@dar5hak Got it. Thank you!
See it there now.

Granite.Toast can do be do that

Cherrypick uses toasts in its UI when copying a color code if you want to check out how it looks like

(Honestly, the system notifications don't stay around long enough.)

This is solved in Reminduck by setting priority. "Urgent" keeps the notification always visible and requires it to be manually dismissed

A solution would be to set the notification to Urgent, send it, wait whatever amount of time seem comfortable, then withdraw it.
