First question was “08/10/2023”

The majority of the world uses little endian, so the 8th day of the 10th month of the 2023rd year. 8th October is Sunday, as I know that because it’s the same day as 9th of May.

However experiments E has told me that much of the internet uses the minority American view of “middle endian”

Probably worth making it clear.

Year-Month-Day (YYYY-MM-DD) is the international standard and ought to be used in any new projects.

Thanks, there is some attempt in the code to auto select US/Canada date format if the user's timezone is in the USA or Canada, but I didn't actually test it to see if it is activated correctly. Any US user's able to chime in if it does?

Even if it works, I'll probably take your suggestion add a tip below the date to clarify the date format for the user's first session.

What do you consider the Canadian format? Most people I know prefer YYYY-MM-DD as it's non ambiguous. Anytime you see XX-XX-YYYY (or XX-XX-XX) it could just as easily be be little endian or weird American.

The intention is to present dates the way they often are found in that country (not just the "gold standard"). From my understanding Canadians often encounter dates in all three formats you noted (although often using named months to avoid ambiguity).

All three date formats are used in Weekle when set to Canadian mode, and fully numeric d/m/y or m/d/y dates are only used if the date is >12 to avoid ambiguity.

It did not default for me.

Im in the US, Eastern TZ. Defaulted to English international.

Cool web app btw. I like the whole idea. Just a neat little self contained lesson.

Until you have time to test your localizations, you’re better off just using simple common format.

The initial popup dialogue shows the default locale setting with a "change" button right next to it, and it can be changed at any time on the settings tab.

Big-endian numerals in little-endian component order is still ixUn-endian! YMD or little-endian numerals, then we can talk :p
