Alarm / reminders skill

Hello there! Just found out about this project, love the idea! I currently use the Google Assistant on my phone for three things; timers, setting an alarm, and setting reminders. The reminders are the most important ones to me. What are the chances/interest level of implementing a reminder function?

In my mind, they would require background task permission, and notification permission. You would audibly say your reminder string, and give it a time, then the background task would try to schedule a notification to be sent at the time with that string as a title.

Love the app and the intention of it. Thanks for the read.

@StOoPiDU the biggest issue to make this work is recognizing the date/time of the reminder. dicio-numbers already implements date/time parsing for English and Italian though, so at least in those languages it should be quite easy to create this skill.

It would be nice to set a timer (minutes or better hours and minutes). Maybe that's easier to develop.

This would be the final puzzle peace for me, and would need that reminder to work with DAVx / NextCloud, so it can sync between devices and allows shared lists. https://www.davx5.com/faq/tasks/advanced-task-features

"set alarm for [time]" currently brings up the internal timer skill and asks for how long the timer should be for. It should instead open the clock until #84 is complete.

set alarm for [time]
set alarm at [time]

"set alarm at midnight"
"set alarm for 5:15"
"set alarm for 21:00" (9pm)

noon (12pm), midnight (12am), and a preset evening (7:00pm), morning (7:00am) time should be included.
