I love tasks.org on Android but God I wish they'd add some NLP to parse out times. That's the one thing I miss from other apps. IIRC The issue in GitHub basically says that there isn't an easy library to do it with right now.

It's so annoying to me that I'm considering trying to make a server side app to do this. Just pull the caldav and parse the titles and set the due date. Can't be that hard right?

Haha, you're over my head with all that. Is there some issues with setting time and date for reminders and due dates?

That is one of the things I like about Tasks.org (and really anything that interacts with CalDAV, messy though it can be), you could probably write some back end server element to interface with it and it would accept it just fine. It really gets me when I find a polished, well designed app... that will only work with the companies proprietary, hosted back end ๐Ÿฅฒ

On ticktick you can make a task like "cook dinner at 6pm" and it will auto set the reminder to be at 6pm.

I'd love that for tasks.org but like you said I can maybe implement it sever side :)
