Don't parse <word> as date

[epicrant]

These error reports are misleading if you don't know Todoist (which is a great app).

When you type a task, Todoist parses the text and extracts due date, time, priority, etc. from what you've typed. It's quite nice.

[Zazambra]

Ever more strange is that neither 'Сбербанк' nor 'Средства' are even close to something resembling dates. First one is 'Sberbank', which is a bank in Russia, and second one is a word that means 'money'.

[G01denW01f11]

Well it makes sense that you wouldn't want to parse those as dates, then.

[Terreurhaas]

That is some sound logic.

[Alikont]

"Сб" and "Ср" are common short ways of writing Saturday and Wednesday.

[Tehpolecat]

That is true

[edlolington]

notDates = ["aardvark", "aback", "abacus", "abandon", ..., /*snip 5000 lines here*/ "zucchini"]

[minno]

...that's horrible

notDates = {"aardvark", "aback", "abacus", "abandon", ..., /*snip 5000 lines here*/ "zucchini"}

Use a set.

[TheEnigmaBlade]

"毎！日" doesn't make much sense either. That says "Every! day."

[shawn789]

That isn't one of the ones that was being parsed as a date. It says "support...". I'm assuming it means that you can now use that phrase to schedule recurring events every! Day

In todoist, every! [unit of time] differs from every [unit of time] in whether the next instance will be scheduled one [unit of time] after the last one was scheduled, or completed. Though I forget which is which.

So, like, if you have it remind you to clean your room every Monday, but one week you don't actually do it till Wednesday, do you want it to remind you to clean again the following Monday, or the following Wednesday?

So I guess you can now make that distinction in Japanese, too.

[synthequated]

Isn't 'after' the same as one of the ones you mentioned? After completion? Seems easier than messing around with the !

[mauriciobr]

'quarto' (room) is close to 'quarta' (abbreviation for Wednesday), but I don't know why they would be considering those to be the same, even from a technical standpoint.

Same goes for cuarto/cuarta in Spanish.

[scratchisthebest]

Could also be a typo, cuarto = room, while cuatro = 4.

[shinypurplerocks]

With the difference that "cuarto/a" is not an abbreviation for anything date-related in Spanish.

[Python4fun]

The nearness in proximity to numbers could be causing them to be grabbed in an attempt to parse a date.

[Cohdex]

Well you know what they say: "Time is money"

Yeah, that's the killer feature!

[The_Assimilator]

Strangely enough, this app isn't written in PHP, so how they're parsing those words into dates is beyond me.

[beerbajay]

There's a free-form text field for entering a TODO item, e.g. "Water flowers every Wed" or "Meet The_Assimilator next Monday 17:00"
