Using libnotify for reminders
Depends... Is your goal to write an entire application to do this for you? You can use notify-send which is already linked with libnotify to do that, or look at a pre-existing application like https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly that might be more like what you're wanting to do...

[W10] Need a good photo viewer
I've been using sylikc's fork of JPEGView for a few days. I like it, it's really fast, but it's too simple. I need something that is as fast, that is simple, but... just not too simple (I'd like the ability to draw on it). A better UI could be good too. Preferably open-source.
