Allow custom reminder time #1473

It seems weirdly limiting to only present a fixed list of options. If I need or want to be reminded 3 days before an event, tuff luck, the app only gives the option to pick 2 days or 1 week.

I would like to work on this issue!

@Jennie-pro Yes that would be great. The wish goes back years and there are also older issues. See #138 #314

Hi! Sorry for the two weeks disappearing. I've been thinking about this issue. After careful consideration, if we need to realize that the user can choose the time of the reminder freely (solve the issue thoroughly), it may take longer to change the whole structure of the reminder. For example, separate the month blank, the week, the day, the hour, and the minute. Do Or do you have other ideas for changes/solve the issue?

Hi @Jennie-pro, thanks for picking this one up. Indeed the default reminders are the only thing that prevent me from using Etar as a daily driver. In my opinion the reminder options from aCalendar are the best solution I have seen so far.

In the first screen there is an option "Benutzerdefiniert" (meaning "custom").

In the second screen there are the options "Am Tag selbst" (meaning on the actual day of the event) or "x Tag vorher" (meaning x days before). At the bottom you can specify the time of the reminder as an absolute point in time rather than a relative time span.

That covers most of the use cases I can think of.
