Using Siri's announce notifications is super helpful to me. Discuss :)

I wrote a python script that downloads my calendar and displays my next meeting on a small e-ink screen plugged into a raspberry pi zero that I attached to the top of my computer screen. Basically I tend to get so zoned in (or out) that I always forget to check my calendar. I receive so many messages like “Are you joining the call???” 10 minutes after the start time. If anyone’s interested I will share a link to the source code.

If you have Outlook, it will use a popup with a sound before meetings. The default is 15 minutes before and at the the start time, but it should be customizable. It's very helpful for me.

Thanks. I generally have notifications off because they’re too distracting.

I would like the link! I probably wont build it myself but I might look at it and build a similar system in the future.
