    Please follow the guides, to get a better understanding of how Rails works.

    1. You would need to have models for User and Tasks in place. Create and associate those models, by following along the first guide. Following this guide, you would know how best to model your application.

      1. You would need models for Users and Tasks with reminders
      2. Users would create those tasks with the expiry / reminder time.
      3. Run a background task periodically to check for expiry of these tasks and appropriately send email reminders.

    2. For emailing follow the guide about ActionMailer - Action Mailer Basics
