Hi @scarf005, thanks for this feature request! I see how customizable dates would add to better user experience.
However, this touches on the whole big topic of internationalization / i18n, which we decided to be out of scope for Wakapi. Currently, all of Wakapi is in en_US
locale (speaking in nerd's terms) as sort of the lowest common denominator. I would love to add in multi-language support, customizable dates, etc. to improve the experience for international users. But, unfortunately, I think it would be way too big of an effort for a project of Wakapi's size and I'd rather prefer to spend our very limited capacity on feature development instead. Wakapi's philosophy is to be minimalist and keep things simple in many different regards.
Sorry to close this issue! Hope you'll still enjoy using Wakapi and keep contributing :-)
I don't think this issue is related to internalization at all. What i meant was options to choose such as:
Yes, I got that point. But I think it add comparatively low benefit.
users using YMD date format may have difficulty reading 'Human' date format.
I'm using patch file to work around the issue, but It'd be great to be able to customize date format.
