No need for ajax/fetch. You can calculate that in the browser with the data in your plain, static HTML.

Sure, but can we trust the date and time of the client?

99% of the time, yes, I'd say.

Having time/date wrong on your device - particularly a phone, which a lot of people use instead of a watch - is sufficiently annoying that it usually gets fixed.

Good point! I'll have a look into this, thanks!

Edit: Great advice! Works like a charm! I've never really worked with dates in JS. Should have read the docs earlier ;-)
