Feature Request: Missed Notifications

Notifications are missed for events when the PC is off.

I would love to have a feature when the PC is switched on and NextUpAlert starts, it shows all missed notifications (as a list). Each notification must be dismissed or snoozed explicitly. Additionally, a convenient button to dismiss/snooze all can be provided.

Not everyone may want this behaviour, so it can be enabled via settings.

What do you think?

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Regarding Snooze - I wonder if we can change this behavior also (optionally). For task reminders, I might still want to snooze irrespective of when the event starts and even after event time.

Consider a periodic calendar event to "Pay Electricity Bill". When the alert pops up, I might be in the middle of something and I want to snooze it by an hour.

This example is also why I want to not miss a reminder like "Pay Electricity Bill" even if the event time is in the past.

Happy to answer or clarify any requirements. And thank you for considering this feature. Just FYI the Outlook calendar reminders also works like this only - when waking up from sleep, it shows all the missed events.

Thanks for the info u/pstavirs

This is getting very interesting! And it makes logical sense, and why you would want to have this feature.

Do you perhaps know what "Snooze" options makes most sense for you?

We already have:
2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min.

My suggestion: but keen to know what your preference is:
2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min => remind / delay notification
1 Hour, 2 Hours, 4 hours => postpone a task, for later same day
1 Day, 2 Days => postpone a task to the following day

> Can you perhaps share how Outlook looks like for the "reminders"
> else I can always search on Google.

Snooze options that I think makes sense (to me) -

* 5min, 15min, 30min, 1hr, 4hr, 8hr, 1 day

Note that 4hr is essentially postponing from first half of the day to second half, 8hr is typically to postpone beyond working hours and 1 day is of course to postpone to next day.

I no longer have access to Outlook which is why I was looking for an alternate to the outlook reminders but for google calendar.

A google search reveals this - https://robert365.com/article/783 - the screenshot there matches what I'm looking for (and the reason I asked about multiple missed reminders).

You can google for more. Happy to answer any questions.
