You're online all day. Why not use the browser to remind you of things?

Because every OS I can think of comes with a native app that does the same, while also integrating with whichever calendar I choose to throw its way? Because I need them on my phone as well?

Tangential Counterpoint: I have no connection to this thing and also question its value, but…<p>At least on iOS, I think calendar reminders (both native and gcal) are fundamentally broken. Their notifications easily get lost in a sea of other notifications and are easily missed.

I&#x27;ve Remindoro installed which is exactly same thing, open source (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;palerdot&#x2F;remindoro">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;palerdot&#x2F;remindoro</a>), and supports Firefox.

Sorry there are a million apps that do this, I do not see the point of having it inside the browser and I for sure do not think tying to cache in on a &quot;premium version&quot; for a browser extension is appealing. Its rather appalling, so no thanks.<p>I never even heard of a &quot;premium version&quot; of a browser extension ever - well OK i have heard of commercial subscriptions that tie into extensions like Bitwarden but I do not need that, its more for organisations.

Thanks for the depressing reminder.

I honestly don&#x27;t see the point of this (especially paid), when a browser based calendar with notifications enabled gets you all of this for free. I guess privacy is one consideration, but I already have a system there, I just use shortened words or prompts that only make sense to me.

If you’re a fan of Chrome-based browsers, you could also just use Vivaldi. They have a built-in email and calendar client. There you go, email and calendar integration into your web-browsing experience. If you’re going to do it, go all the way.

I really don’t understand the point of this. If you’re in a browser all day, then you’re also in your browser all day so just use a free app (or even the built in calendar that most OS’s have.<p>There’s absolutely no way I’m ever going to enable notifications on my browser with how many garbage websites try to send notifications.<p>And on top of that, there’s a subscription for one of the most basic bits of software there is. The FAQ even says none of the data leaves your device, so there’s no ongoing server costs to cover.<p>I don’t get it.

I wonder how well this kind of app sells. It seems so useless to me (plenty of other calendar apps are free and with more features) but I guess there&#x27;s someone out there who may be interested in it.

Ugh… why not not use my browser for apps. I don’t want to install extensions for all the things. I want to keep my browser to reading and downloading content as much as possible.

Great name and domain. Someone said &quot;branding is overrated, let&#x27;s go all in on SEO.&quot;

I love the domain name. Naming your side project “best &lt;something&gt;” must help SEO.

How about the browser notice that i&#x27;m rabbit holing into off-topic* websites? Off-topic being any websites don&#x27;t seem to be related to my daily to do list.

The best reminder app I have ever used is a sticky note on my bathroom mirror.

Why would I ditch my Google&#x2F;Outlook calendar for this reminder app?
fbhabbedover 1 year ago
- Because the browser may not always be open, although my computer definitely is<p>- Because I want the browser to browse, not to be an &quot;everything&quot; app<p>- Because I&#x27;d use Google or Outlook Calendars if I had to

On the other hand, one of the big improvements Windows 10 offered me over Windows 7, is that I could disable all notifications, instead of just most balloon alerts.

I&#x27;m on Telegram all day and I use that to remind me of things, thank you.

I think Todoist (and others) have Chrome extensions?
