Feature request: Add a countdown in the For You tab #71

Open johngarciava opened 1 year ago

johngarciava commented 1 year ago

In the For You tab, I noticed that when an upcoming reminder is under a week, it displays the day and right above it in gray text it shows the date.

IMO, what I think would be better is if you replace the content of the gray text with a countdown like "in x days", and when under 1 day it should say "in x hours", and it counts down. I think doing days/hours/minutes should be good enough, seconds don't seem useful. Two reasons why I think this change makes it better is because the gray text showing the date is clearly redundant as the date is already being shown in the reminder itself below, and I think the countdown thing is nice because the info itself would be actually useful in that it tells me exactly how close the next reminder is and also tells me what day is today basically lol.

For example, I open Memento, and for my top upcoming reminder in the for you tab I see the big Friday and right above it the "in 2 days", this instantly tells me today is Wednesday (currently I see the big Friday with the date, but today could be monday, tuesday, etc. and I wouldn't really know for sure unless I check elsewhere), similarly useful for it displaying hours/mins too.

That's a great suggestion! I do think it might be neat to show the current date somewhere here, but it gets tricky if I start changing the headers of each section, since they can contain reminders from different times / days / weeks, etc. I'll think about this some more.
