Hi Danielo

I added the alert mechanism in 5.0.8 as a way to display synchronisation
errors. There's a demo in the "Features" tiddler; just click the button
labelled "alerts".

opinion it would be better to just remove the tag

The idea is that a process that wants to display an error message creates a
tiddler containing that message. If the "remove" button just removed the
tag then the wiki would fill up with undeleted alert tiddlers.

> And.. what about a time based alerts? For example: create a tiddler, tag
it as alert and put a field of due date. On that date the alert becomes
active

Alerts are just the mechanism for delivering a message to the user. Things
like time-based reminders will need additional mechanisms to actually
schedule the message creation.

Best wishes

Jeremy
