Add support for @wednesday etc #35

Closed trashhalo closed 3 years ago

trashhalo commented 3 years ago

I mentally operate in a weekly timespan. Sometimes I want to say due: @wednesday to mean due the day after tomorrow. It would be nice if I could target like such.

@monday = 05-10 @tuesday = 05-11 @wednesday = 05-12 @thursday = 05-13 @friday = 05-13

Even if today was Thursday. If I said at @monday all-hands eng were concerned about x I am referring to the Monday from this week.

I just realized I pinged all these people. Ooooops

@trashhalo these are parser issues, and tend to come with some ambiguity depending on the day you're referencing. For the same week (usually) you can use @this monday, @this tuesday, etc., but the day of reference and your locale might also play a role. There is definitely some room for improvement in the parser and last time I tested, I didn't find a way to make chrono parse this this edge cases consistently.
