🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Add a user-configurable setting to adjust the frequency and duration of reminder intervals.
  2. Implement a 'snooze' feature that allows users to delay the next reminder by a specific duration.
  3. Develop a smart notification system that stops repeating reminders once the user has interacted with the app once.
