Been digging into Cashu mints a little deeper lately and got a much better grip on how they're set up. Mints let operators customize some meta data fields. This got me thinking about how these fields can be used in the UI to show important info to users. 
I used the bitcoin.design community UI kit to whip up quick concept of how a mint might display these fields to users. I'm really excited about the potential use cases for the MINT_INFO_MOTD (Message of the Day) field.
If mint operators use this for urgent messages, apps could show this as an in-line alert. This could be really helpful for sharing important updates like downtime or future shutdowns. Including an action button in the alert is probably not realistic, but would be a nice touch.
Some people have thrown out an idea of a mint that automatically rugs after certain amount of time. Alerts could be really useful here. If a wallet detects a MOTD, it could display it on launch or send a push notification. Gotta think about the risks and potential misuse too.
