Standardize Release Date #10

Open docpop opened 1 month ago

docpop commented 1 month ago

When adding an album, there is a field for "release date". This field allows users to add any thing (ie "summer 08" or "July 8th, 2008". I think this should be standardized so that albums can later be organized chronologically.

Yes. Thank you for this suggestion. Fortunately, both Emissary and ActivityPub include proper dates for when something is published, so this is certainly doable.

I'll need to figure out how to use these dates, but still give bands an easy way to choose some custom formatting for them. Maybe I'll just have a "formatted date" and a "searchable date". I'll pay around with it a bit, and I'm open to suggestions :)
