End Calendar Events Notification (lemmy.world)

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So, does anyone know of any good foss calendar that has better notifications than the stock google one?

I'd like to be able to add notifications at/before the event AND notifications at/before the end of the event.

Scenario: Child has a bday party at friend's house.

I want to be able to set the activity's length, say 2hrs. Set a notification before the event to remind me when I need to leave to drop them off, and set a notification before the end to go pick them up.

I think it's annoying to have to create a second event to remind me to pick them up. and with multiple children and events the calendar gets cluttered with duplicates.

Suggestions?

Fossify Calendar is generally great. It allows multiple reminders, but not after the start-time(just checked)

You could set the event-time as the finish-time, and set the dropoff / pickup as two reminders prior to the finish-time.

That distorts the calender though and just viewing it might get confusing. I like the OP idea, I think I will open an issue in fossifys github tonight to add notifications after an event has started.

Good idea. 🙂
