Suggest Integration for reminders plugins ⏰ emote

[kr-nn]

⚠️ Check request is valid.

• My request is about the Tasks plugin for Obsidian.
• I am only requesting a single feature in the Tasks plugin. Multiple changes should be split into individual requests, with links between them.
• I believe my requested feature will be generally applicable to other Tasks plugin users, not just me: it is not uniquely tied to my personal workflow.

⚠️ Please check that this feature request hasn't been suggested before.

• I searched previous Tasks plugin Ideas in Discussions didn't find any similar feature requests.
• I searched previous Tasks plugin Issues didn't find any similar feature requests.

🔖 Feature description

Background

Mentioned from here: #2920

I finished my plugin (note it's fully vibecoded, I don't know javascript or obsidian plugins, I just needed to solve my own problem, if that makes this ineligible I understand)

It works similarly to the obsidian-reminders plugin but has a different workflow (fuzzy searching timestamps / ntfy integration)

Request

Enable a setting that turns on "Enable reminders in suggest"

✔️ Solution

Should add ⏰ emote and follows the convention of:
year-mo-da ti:me AM/PM
for ex.
⏰ 2025-08-16 1:33 PM
or for 24 hour scales
⏰ 2025-08-16 13:33

This setting can enable interoperability with obsidian-reminders or my ntfy-reminders

❓ Alternatives

#2920
This would be nice but it's not planned and as you mentioned, requires a lot of work.

edited: to limit scope to just 1 feature request

But this definitely fails the “only one feature per request” checkbox.

It does more than add a notification, it adds a whole new recurrence syntax as well.

[kr-nn]

That's fair I would be happy with just the first part in any case.

Updated the request to only include the 1 feature

Here is the link to your plugin:

I’m pretty sure that is a duplicate. I will search later on and link to it, if that is the case.

Ah I did see this duplicate:
#2088

I read the pull request here: #1925
Personally I think it's both overengineered to a point that it limits interoperability and also underengineered in that it doesn't respect the HH:mm (it seems to hardcode a specified time for all reminders)

I set my plugin to give a fuzzy search and parse the full YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm this way you can quickly define a date and time.

idk how far along you are in implementing your own reminders but I think simpler is better.
most of the complexity should probably be in the parser, and just a system level notification.

I can keep using my custom plugin for the NTFY integration and that would satisfy I think most people. I'd offer to help build it but like I mentioned for my plugin, idk javascript or obsidian plugins and I feel weird ethically about distributing something vibe-coded.

godspeed

As a reminder, in that message I said:

If you get to the stage where you have submitted it to the community plugins repo, then I will undertake to add built-in Tasks support for the same Reminders emoji that obsidian-reminders uses.

And then you created this issue, but above you added:

(I'm not trying to force you to submit your vibe-coded plugin - it can be a lot of work supporting plugins, and yours could become popular - but also, I'm trying to be transparent about where I can afford to spend my limited free time...)
