10:41 universal notification tray

i want all of my notifications from all of my devices to drip into a single tray that i can access from any device. hidden at first but visible when i need them to be. some things need to alert me right away, though. i should also be able to associate people across different apps - i.e. gus on instagram and gus on sms are the same - and declare that specific people or chats can notify me through the block urgently. really, this is another instance of using technology to solve the social problem of notification etiquette - it's hard for people to understand how to contact someone without interrupting them, and everyone, through their own online interactions, reading, and customs, has developed a different procedure for this. when these notification procedures misalign, participants in conversations become annoyed!

Scheduling messages may be the most valuable utility here.
