Feature request: an inline “RemindMeBot”

  • Hi!

    I would like to set reminders for myself as I’m writing. See the example highlighted in red below. I think Reddit has something like it here. Ideally as free-form as possible. Reminders could go to calendar, or to-do lists, 3rd party sites like ToDoist or Notion, etc.

    FWIW, I really like to keep my head down and crank out text (mostly nonsense), so I hate changing focus (both my mind’s and my computer’s) when I want to remind myself about this thing I’m writing about right now!

    Tried searching for a suitable plugin, but no joy. And I have no idea how to code.

    Cheers!

  • Did I get your write, ChaptGPT helped me.
    You would like:

    Set Reminders with Comments or Notes:

    • In WordPress, you can add comments to your posts. While it won’t have a specific command like “@remindmein1hour,” you can manually write a comment to remind yourself about something. If there are plugins that enhance the commenting system, they might provide additional features.

    … and then the CRON job would parse out the content of your posts (any post status, draft, published, private) and execute them and then remove that @remindinin1hour from the text? Correct?

    Hi Rok!

    You have it mostly correct. Yes, some sort of CRON job, probably every hour, would find the “@remindme in 2 days” and send a reminder (via email is my preference) with a link to the post.

    But I would really like the “@remindme in 2 days” bit to be “inline”, in the text of the post, not in a comment. When I write a blog post, it’s only for me, so I don’t care that it might not look like proper. I don’t even care about spelling!

    I suppose it would be useful to also look in comments as well. I rarely use the comments; since my blog is for me only, I just edit the posts as required.

    “… and then the CRON job would parse out the content of your <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>posts (any post status, draft, published, private)</span> and execute them and then remove that @remindinin1hour from the text? Correct?”

    Not sure if it’s required to remove the “@remindme…” from the text. Easier to just leave them in the post, I can edit them or remove them as required.

    Thanks for your interest!

    I copy pasted this question text and asked ChatGPT to generate a sample of the code, https://chat.openai.com/share/96d51887-23e6-4720-bb30-670901d27497, that could get you started. Off course it needs more work, however it’s a good start.

    I checked Email Reminders – WordPress plugin | www.ads-software.com, but it does not do what you would like to achieve.
