Why?

Voice reminders did not work for me personally. My laptop could be muted, or my headphones off, or sometimes it would just be noisy at inconvenient times. I'd rather be reminded via OS notifications.

That being said, I can see how the opposite may be true for other people, so I've added a settings section which allows users to select how they want to be reminded.

I understand that, given the minimalistic approach of this app, this might not be something you want added to your app. It's obviously up to you if you want to merge this change or not. I won't take it personally 😉

The checkboxes are not particularly pretty 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I should add some styling to make them a bit more muted?

Changes

1️⃣ It uses the native OS notification system to remind users of their posture. It displays a random message portraying the benefits of a good posture.

2️⃣ It adds two checkboxes to the settings section, allowing users to choose how they want to be reminded: voice and/or notification.

3️⃣ It upgrades electron to version 3.

And tweak documentation
This adds a couple of checkboxes to the UI to allow the users to control
how they want to be reminded of their posture: voice and/or notification.
Slightly arbitrary version update. Semantic versioning is always a bit ambiguous
for standalone apps, but given the introduction of a new feature, new settings,
UI changes and a change to the format of the stored settings, one could argue
2.0 is what makes sense.

Happy to change it to something that makes more sense.
