A Reminder bot #89

Open zkoppert opened 5 months ago

zkoppert commented 5 months ago

New Action request

Sometimes an issue or a pull request can't be dealt with properly until some time in the future and it would be nice to be able to configure getting a reminder notification/email. The idea would be to create an app or action that you can write a comment on an issue or PR to remind you to look at it on a future date. ie. /remind-me 2024-01-01

@gr2m notes:

there are some apps that support this, e.g. https://github.com/marketplace/remindersbot. But I don't like it too much because using comments in a thread for this kind of interaction can cause lots of noise to everyone watching a thread

this would be a good use case for slash commands and apps being able to register slash commands, we tried to push for that as part of Howie but didn't get anywhere unfortunately.

it would still be an interesting app to build 🤔 would be fairly simple with something like inngest.com.
