Show HN: A small browser extension to turn selected text into reminders

https://github.com/kshk123/create_reminders

I built a small browser extension to help create reminders from selected text on any website. I kept seeing dates/times in emails and webpages (“next Tuesday 3pm”, “25.12.2025”, “14:30”) and wanted a convenient way to turn them into reminders without switching apps.

How it works:

  - Select text on any webpage → right‑click “Add to Reminders”
  - It detects common date/time formats (English + European/German) and pre-fills a reminder time
  - Review/edit/delete reminders in the popup, or add reminders manually
   - Dates can also be edited/added manually, and the highlighted text need not contain a date.

  Optional integrations (only when you choose them):

  - Google Calendar sync via OAuth (creates an event)
  - macOS Apple Reminders via a small local bridge you run on your machine
