Would be cool to see week day labels in charts - it would make both comparing values and understanding data easier. e.g. ‘Thursday, November 7, 2024’

For example, it’s difficult to tell at a glance when a weekend is on this data _(when we usually expect less engagement)_, but hovering on a label would easily tell us “that’s a Saturday”, or “that’s a Wednesday”
