   + Remind commands now provide output that is more detailed. This includes showing the exact errors that occurred for each reminder that couldn't be set, if bulk-setting reminders
   + Translations are now loaded from a JSON file included within the executable, which should be faster
   + Reduced user caching by individually querying some attributes like language and timezone
+  + Simplified some types and tried to remove some copying
