Automatically show timestamp in user's timezone #38

We should be able to change GMT timezone to local!

Agreed, this should be a JavaScript feature. I'll start looking into ideas, but data itself should be saved as GMT/native to the coins output. No data-transformation before the save, only a UI transformation

So i'm leaning on the idea that the date/times will be displayed in the user's local time which would be pretty simple to do. Basically run a Date() on it and javascript will do the rest via their browser.

However, I still want the GMT information to be available in some way/shape/form for consistancy purposes. My current idea is to utilize tooltips. On hover, have the GMT date be displayed, so it's there and available. This will remove any issue/fear that there's inconsistancies when you do a GUI view vs a JSONRPC view of the data.
