- Can call you with a reminder, which can be more powerful than notifications
- Works across platforms
- Will eventually support more integrations, such as calendars, webhooks, and telegram/whatsapp/etc.
[0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33448262 - Phone call notifications have been quite powerful in practice. I miss push notifications all the time, but a phone call is harder to ignore.
- More powerful scheduling: some filters aren't possible to create (like "last day of month") in the Google Calendar UI
I'm also planning to implement more integrations (webhook triggers, webhook notifications, slack/discord/telegram/whatsapp notifications), which should tip the scales somewhat more. I also want to integrate Google Calendar at some point, so you could create nudges for all your calendar entries automatically. - Add a `proto` file covering messages that this Kafka consumer reads off the incoming topic
- Pull in a gradle library for protobuf code generation
- Add in a simple Kafka consumer and producer
- Add a `Processor` that works on incoming messages
- Hook everything up; the sevice consumes off Kafka, "processes" the data, and produces back to Kafka
These PRs aren't similar in terms of size or complexity, but the various concerns that comprise this service are nicely split up.
