Timezones suck, especially when they make you miss meetings.
It would be incredibly useful to be able to add a date to a post, and have it automagically change into the timezone of the person reading it (if there’s data to do so) or be able to click on it and have it show the time in various (or a user defined) timezone.
I’d love to propose a syntax to use, but I have no idea what makes the most sense. Obviously, it would include ISO 8601 formatted dates in some way.
I’ve created with the insert date option in the gear menu. Not many dates though. I guess if that requires manual modifications then those can be done but does it?
Note, definitely remove it from your yaml, in a few weeks we will be making the repo explode, in the mean time I renamed plugin.rb to plugin_old.rb so the old repo will do nothing.
If he wants this named chronos like it was or leave it cronos like it is now or call it something else like discourse shared dates is up to him.
I do think readability wise we should call the element [date] just like we call poll [poll] and not [discourse-poll] less words makes us all more happy
For sure, and if not I’d just prefer to reference something related to time, rather than a deity who castrated his father and ate his own kids. Right now though there are instances which have [discourse-chronos] referred to which will need to update to something because of this change, it would be great if they didn’t have to update twice.
