Describe the request

Hi @jdhitsolutions, great module!!
Have you found any idea or possibility to integrate a simple reminder functionality possibly with GUI (or using Windows toasts -> BurntToast to receive active reminders for each task? Possibly with scheduled tasks that will be created/managed/deleted?

Thanks,
René

PowerShell version

Platform

Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise

I use BurntToast for other things. I'm not sure there is a single way to incorporate a notification mechanism because there's no way of knowing what someone wants. Do you want a single notification several days ahead? An overdue notification? Multiple notifications? And what about cross-platform support?

I use a PowerShell scheduled job to mail myself a daily report with upcoming tasks that are due.

I could add a section to the README on how people can create their own notifications. I'm not sure there is a way to meet every possible scenario. But I am open to more detailed suggestions or PRs.

I've added some notes and sample code in the project's README file on this topic.
