Interest in "Minimized" quiet mode

[RKBoss6]

In Bangle.js, there are three quiet modes: Off, Alarms Only, and Silent. However, I've recently been dissatisfied with these three. There are certain situations where I would still want to see an event happened on the watch, but not constantly buzz. An example would be a new message. You can either have it silenced, or buzzing constantly. Having a minimized mode would result in one or two buzzes to alert the user that a message is present, and then would not disturb the user further. This would be practical when driving, or during a meeting or presentation where you cannot interact with the watch, only glance. I'm wondering, if I add this to settings as another option, and update some apps that could use it, would it be a welcome/needed change?

There's already an option in the messages app for the number of buzzes it'll give before stopping...

Or am I missing something? You want it to not buzz for any future messages? If so you could add an option for "don't buzz if there are already unread messages"?

No, I'm thinking there is a mode that changes it to be minimized, with 1-2 buzzes, and can be scheduled with quiet mode scheduler like any other quiet mode. When not active, it returns to the number of buzzes set.

It's definitely something you could add to the Quiet Mode scheduler app I guess, and it could just change that setting in the messages app like it does for the other settings?

Personally I don't think it should be in the main settings app though. There was a post a week or two ago from someone who was confused about what Off/Alarms Only/Silent did and having more options there, which overwrite the existing Messages app options in some way, is only going to make that worse.

Hmm. I still feel like it would be a good addition, as apps that also buzz constantly like phone reminder and activity reminder will also benefit. I'll test it out for some time on my watch, and see if it would be a good change, or one just for my watch for the time being.
