Would it be possible to add something like (Yesterday)
or (Tomorrow)
if the user's local time is a different day than my own?
Btw, user-local-time
is definitely one of my favorite rgh features!! ❤️

I'd either show -1/+1 like booking sites do, or the day of the week, so "10:00 PM Friday"

The timezone info is already present in the title:

Maybe we can make it shorter:

Or even (which I prefer):

I like both ideas. Is it possible to configure a specific feature? I'd love to be able to switch between one mode or the other.

-1/+1 would indicate the date difference, not the timezone. We have already gone over this in the original PR and indeed the actual timezone is already present in the tooltip. The tooltip includes an extra piece of information too: When was this updated?

I agree, it looks good. But for people who aren't in GMT time, it's not that helpful. I'd like it if it showed their GMT offset - my GMT offset, so in this case (+7) - (-4) = +11.

Yeah, that looks good! I don't think the full date being in their is useful, but it is definitely annoying to see it broken up on two lines.

I like this one.

This is probably why we avoided placing a number there, it was just confusing and "relative". If we put "+11" is it relative to me or relative to GMT?
If we show the day of the week it avoids any ambiguity.

Relative to me, because I can easily imagine "11 hours ahead of me", but "7 hours ahead of GMT" is not so intuitive (at least for me), especially given that everyone may not know their own timezone.
If we show the day of the week it avoids any ambiguity.
True. That's fine with me (although I'm attached to the idea of the relative differe said above :)
