With many online services, if there is something that needs verification (like confirming your email address), every time you use the app you will see a banner at the top reminding you of this need.
Anything that is a countdown to doom should be a persistent banner on the app, reminding you of the importance and maybe even showing how many days left you have to deal with it.

- gardnr 4y agoI got a phone call from a domain registrar a few months ago. They let me know one of my domains was expiring and they didn’t have a card on file. I thanked them, hung up, and have since been slowly moving all my domains over to them. I really appreciated that phone call.
- londons_explore 4y agoTo be fair, Google cloud does this. But most people don't log in the Google cloud dashboard every day for fun.
- 8organicbits 4y agoWith cloud orchestration tools it's pretty common to log in to the provider's web console infrequently. A banner is easy to miss, even if it's persistent.
- shadowgovt 4y agoGoogle is actually uniquely bad at this. The system that displays notify banners for Cloud is a too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen mechanism that requires multiple layers of authorizations, signoff, scrutiny, and binary changes to their UI. For that reason, it isn't (at least, didn't used to be) blocking to roll a feature out for that pipeline to work, so a lot of things that should be top-banner messages weren't.
