Server side app and Webhook to parse GitHub Issue Comments and generate scheduled Email reminders based on the parsed comment
Sinatra + GitHub OAuth + Qless + Chronic gem + Email = GitHub-Reminders
While in a Issue make a comment with the following:
-
:alarm_clock: Next Friday at 3:05pm
#=> โฐ Next Friday at 3:05pm -
:alarm_clock: [Date/Time] | [Reminder Comment]
Notes:
-
The Reminder Syntax must be at the beginning of the Issue Comment.
-
The goal is to treat the comment as a "record" containing the Reminder.
-
The separator between the Date and time of the reminder and the "reminder comment" is the pipe character
|
(above the enter/return key). Future versions will support Reminder Comments in new lines without the need for the|
pipe. -
The DateTime is parsed by the Chronic gem. Any date and time format the Chronic gem can parse is supported.
-
GitHub.com provides all timestamps as a UTC timezone, therefore you will need to choose your timezone in your "profile" in the Sinatra app. The reminder's Date/Time will parsed using your profile's timezone.
-
The Sinatra app will provide the ability to view your scheduled reminders for each repo/issue queue and a set number of "completed" reminders.
-
MailGun.com Email API is being used to send emails. The code has been designed to be agnostic of the specific email service.
- Once hook is added to the repo, any user can signup and receive notifications
