Description

People should be able to send off differently timed exploding messages with the flick of the wrist, not multiple mouse clicks.

How about some kind of magic text?

`!90s hello world` would explode in 90 seconds
`!24h hello world` would explode in 24 hours
`!7d hello world` would explode in 7 days
`!1w hello world` would explode in 1 week
etc.

(I have no idea if this is feasble or not. A keyboard shortcut would also be great!)

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the message composer and the existing exploding-message implementation, then determine where command parsing and expiration scheduling belong. Done should include the requested duration formats, a defined behavior for invalid input, and coverage for each supported unit.
