My instinct would be to get rid of this granularity and automatically notify every contact method that a user has set up. I might even require more than one at signup.
The problem that most people who’d use this kind of thing have isn’t missing reminders as much as ignoring them.
Think about a broader target audience of e.g. people who set 10 morning alarms scheduled one minute apart. You could nudge them at the set time and then again every X minutes afterward until they mark the task as completed, only allowing one snooze per task.
- aerovistae 4y agoLol what's going to stop that type of person from just marking the task completed then? which is the equivalent of ignoring the reminder

- culturestate 4y ago> what's going to stop that type of person from just marking the task completed then? I mean...nothing? If someone is determined not to do something, that can't really be helped. What you can help is the out of sight, out of mind problem - "got it, I need to do this..." followed by four hours of totally unrelated Wikipedia deep-dives, after which the reminder is forgotten.
