🔖 Feature description

There is user demand for notifications based on task dates see #432. However this requires the use of another obsidian plugin which was not designed to be used with tasks first, instead adding support later in development.

✔️ Solution

Create a native implementation of reminders build into the tasks plugin. See my current ideas for it under Additional Context.

❓ Alternatives

Do nothing, and use the currently existing reminder plugin

📝 Additional Context

Setting Reminder Date

How to set the reminder date:

1. create a new date field called reminder:
   • Con: starts to bloat the modal UI with two many dates
   • Pro: probably the easiest to implement
2. Convert and existing one to reminders name and all
   • scheduled -> reminders (personally never found this one useful)
     • regardless should maybe add a setting to hide unused element in modal. Or add page on publish for CSS snippets
   • Con: could mess with existing work flows if converting
3. Treat and existing field due, start… as the reminder date via a selector in settings or a toggle next to the date ⏲️
   • Pro: could enable multiple reminders, one on Start and another on Due
   • Pro: could set this on by default via a global setting, low friction for user
   • Con: Could complicated existing tests and would require a new data fields to be added of type bool: isRemind

While option one is probably the easiest I think three is the most interesting to implement while also offering the most expandability with multiple reminders and a minimally clutter UI. I do believe a PR should be created to hide elements from the modal see #1853.
