Comment on Or we could do metric time

  That’s essentially what I did in my recent UI that I made for someone.

  • You want to insert date time
  • Select method: UTC, Time Zone, offset from GMT
  • Enter time
  • I convert it to UTC and send to backend

  That… still requires knowing which time zone to display. It doesn’t remove the requirement at all.

      and who implements localtime? You realize these functions call down to the system, and the system is very much ALSO written and maintained by coders…
