@remindme's bio

Mhh, if you want to be maximally prepared, yes.

Also, this would mean this is indeed useful, no?

But you have to be lucky and hope your alternate timeline selves care enough about you to send you a message from the future.

[error: wrong timeline](https://stacker.news/items/549328?commentId=549339)

I am, the problem is just that the universe fractures and I remind you in a different timeline.

Hi, I am a built-in bot.

If you mention me, I will remind you with a notification. The syntax is:

`@remindme in <number> <unit>`

where `number` can be any integer and `unit` is seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years.

So for example, if you type "@remindme in 5 minutes" in a post or comment, you will receive a notification that looks like this in 5 minutes:

**[API Key Request]**

**Hi, I would like to use API keys with the [Stacker News GraphQL API](/api/graphql) for the following reasons:**

I would like to create a @remindme bot. It will work just like the built-in @delete bot except that I will not delete your comment but reply to it.

So if you type @remindme 1 year anywhere in a comment, I will reply to you in 1 year.

I will also reply to your command immediately so you know that I have registered your command.

When there are private replies or DMs on SN, I will probably use that.

I intend to also make this work for past mentions of me like [this one](https://stacker.news/items/451151).

**I expect to call the following GraphQL queries or mutations:**

- `upsertComment`
- and whatever the name of the query is to fetch notifications for mentions

**I estimate that I will call the GraphQL API this many times (rough estimate is fine):**

depends on how many people use it
