“Remindme” type bots are a band aid fix. Can you imagine if instead, the app/website/service provided that ? I shouldn’t have to see what you save now should I.
For the second point, mostly because nobody made an app that combined the two well and/or was popular. The “simple calendar” app let’s you create events AND tasks. I honestly don’t even get what you’re trying to get at with your second point.
Or, the remindme bot can be hidden in settings or visible only to the user who invoked him (but I often add myself to remindme of someone else so that would defeat the point).
we’ve had calendar apps for years. I hated how that would litter comment threads.
Nope. Remindmebot was easier, quicker and reminded you in the thread you were reading.
If we can just use calendars, why do we have todo apps then?

Thank you! It was so annoying see !“remind me 40000 years” on comment threads
