Feature request: Timezone converter

[orschiro]

Dear all,

Let me request a timezone converter that would go great along the lines of the calendar scheduling feature.

I frequently receive invitations to calls that are formulated in weird, complicated and hard to understand timezone language. Example:

It would be fantastic if N1 was to assist me with understanding what a timezone means for my local context. In the above example, I envision a mouse-over to translate Tuesday 1:30pm EDT into my local timezone setting, e.g. Tuesday 07:30pm Berlin time.

Just an idea. What do you think?

Thankfully,

Hi Orschiro,

We are working on an N1 plugin version of our software, Draft AI. (www.draft-ai.com)

It's a button in the compose window that drafts a response to any detected scheduling string in a message based on the content and your calendar availability.

Should solve this problem nicely! Give us a several weeks and should be ready 🚀

Best, Alex

P.s. An example: if their message contains the string: " I could do 3pm PT (8pm ET) Mon/Tue " It might draft "Hi X, I am afraid I am busy at 3pm PT Monday however 3pm PT Tuesday works for me, I will send an invite, Best, X".

P.p.s sends them the calendar invite as well ;)

Actually sorry, just realised that doesn't quite do what you want.

We do have the code to do that time zone translation in-line, we could potentially roll it out with the plugin... If anyone was up for doing the UI work on that part, that would be amazing!

Hi @agdfoster,

Draft AI sounds very powerful! Thanks for your work on this. :+1:

That sounds great! What would the work on the UI part involve precisely?
