Meds Reminder in #mental-health

[janine9vn]

Context

There has been a suggestion to include functionality for a meds check reminder in the #mental-health channel.

Implementation Details and Considerations

• It should probably be an opt-in role, so people who don't want to get pinged don't get bothered.
• Should it be morning, afternoon, and evening? Separate opt-in roles for each event?
• Should it be DMs or should it post in the mental-health channel itself? Will one get too cluttered? What if a user has closed their DMs?

Leaving this comment here, as I am more than happy to help with this after finals week.

I think it would be better to frame this as a self care reminder. Ideally you'd be able to set the message that it'll ping you with (so it can be take meds or drink water or take a walk, etc.). 🥰

Also, this will probably require using a backing database, most likely Azure CosmosDB (which is MongoDB compatible).
