Poor "Time Formatting" in README

[accessfletch]

I'm trying to set a reminder, but am having trouble with the time formatting.

As the README says, the app is using agenda.js and its time formatting rules... but as a non-programmer, I can't seem to tell what those rules are.

If I enter /remind me to test at 12:14 pm (or /remind me to test at 12:14pm, for that matter), I get the "fail to understand" message.

What would be the proper format for a specific time... or a specific date?

from what i've seen, it's kind of like a timer, so you have to say "/remind me to test in 10 minutes" or "in 2 hours" I'm hoping with the future updates we will be able to just put a time like an alarm.

With that all said, i'm having issues getting the reminders to even show...

As per agenda.js, it uses Human Interval.

I'd be great if it indeed supported dates / times, and also relative time such as "tomorrow at 8am" or "Friday at 3pm".

It appears to use a fixed template:
/remind who to what in when

If you put
/remind me to test in at 12:14 pm
...the command is accepted.

@mjovanovic0 it would be great if at could replace in in the command template. Looks like that change could be added at/after

Rocket.Chat.App-Remind/src/Command/RemindCommand.ts

Line 38 in e8545a6

const lastIn: number = fullCommand.lastIndexOf(' in ');

Maybe something like:

...
        const lastIn: number = fullCommand.lastIndexOf(' in ');
        const lastAt: number = fullCommand.lastIndexOf(' at ');
        const when: string = fullCommand.substring((lastIn>=0?lastIn:lastAt) + 4);
        
        if (lastIn <= 0 && lastAt <= 0) {
...

(and tweak the response message to use 'at' when the user does)

Hi all,

I just submitted new version of app.
This version includes in and at option for selector of time component.

Will try to implement particular time (like 12:14 pm, or 1.1.2022) reference in the following update.

Is this project dead?
