Gencaster needs do be aware of users time and date

[vin-ni]

For formats like:

• Wikipedia article of the day
• switching audio depending on time

the graph needs to know the users local timezone and date. Would that be something we send via graph ql on first connection?

[capital-G]

This is already possible with python script cells/statements, e.g. datetime.now() :) Would not rely on a time from a user

[vin-ni]

But does it use the servers datetime.now() or the users?

[capital-G]

Send timezone as stream variable upon connection.

Add a syntactic sugar method that uses this information to get the current time of the user, e.g.

get_user_time()

[capital-G]

Todo:

• [ ] Send JS timezone string upon connection
• [ ] Create python function get_user_time() to obtain the user time
