@gvy_dvpont

soo, what is your intent with the alerts? A reminder that something is over?

@davedarko I dunno I don't do it either! Could be like... oh this terrible thing happens at this time... let me know when it's safe to go outside.

I'm doing a calendar thing for work and I'm trying to decide how much effort to put into handling this case.

@davedarko @gvy_dvpont My use case for this is when I block out some time for a certain task on the calendar, and I want an alert to let me know I only have X minutes left. Like if I block out 2 hours, I might set an alert for 1.5 hours after the start of the event, so I know I need to start wrapping up what I'm doing.

@gvy_dvpont I mean I add calendar *entries* after an event ends, as a journal/record of what happened. But alerts...?

I feel like if I'm going to do the heist during the big meeting but i don't want to put an entry for "big heist" in my digital calendar this might make sense
