Remind Command

[CS-5]

Features:

• Allow setting a user-specific reminder for a set date/time.
• (Will probably require some sort of database backend.)
• @'s the user who set the reminder (or maybe DM?)
• If unable to send message, saves it and retries send when reconnected to network.

Sample command usage:

• !remind [me, channel, user] [time] [message]
• !remind [time] [message] (Assumes the user in question is you)
• !reminders (Lists your reminders? Maybe !remind list instead?)

How do we want to handle parsing the time? Are we going to be relatively strict in the format requires (1h, 45m, at 3, etc.), or use some sort of nlp?

Perhaps something like this? Maybe not necessarily this, but this idea.

What if, instead of a remind command, it was more like a "add to reading list" command or something, then you could pull that up whenever? We could have a separate command or subfunction to have the bot send you a message reminding you to check your list too. Then, it'd be a lot lower friction. Something like !bookmark instead of having to worry about a time?
