Tempo Ideas

Currently to log time in the Slack app:

1. log time 3h
   Then select issue
   Then add description

2. log time PROJECT-123
   Then add time
   Then add description

Proposal:

Add syntax and parsing for single line time entries.

Examples:

• log time PROJECT-123 "1d 5h 30m" "My description of all the things."

• log time PROJECT-123 1d5h30m "Only quotes become description."

• log time PROJECT-123 1d5h30m Everything from here is description, no matter how long it is and I don't have to use quotes anywhere... Or I can use "quotes" as they were meant to be used by our lingual antecedents.

As a bonus, allow a subset to prompt for missing required info:

• log time 5h30m "I don't remember my issue ID."
  Then select issue.

• log time PROJECT-123 1d5h30m
  Then add description
  "I forgot to add my description, but the app was smarter than me."

There would need to be some error handing:

• log time PORJETC-123 1d5h30m "I don't know who this poor Jet C guy is, but I feel like he's just been maligned."
  Then select issue.

• log time PROJECT-123 1d5j30 "I have ceased using hours as a time measure and will, from now on, exclusively use units of jetc to divide my day into 11 unequal blocks. In addition, I find the term 'minute' to be sizeist and will, heretofore, refrain from all references to this exclusionary language."
  Then enter time.

Benefits:

Reduces clicks and total time for entry for users who have the info upfront.
