New article on time, dates and time zones

Ever since the concept of time zones was formalized at the International Meridian Conference in 1884 in Washington, D.C., app developers have gotten migraines trying to make sense of them.

Luckily, 141 years later, we’ve just published an article on times, dates and time zones in the docs.

This sheds some light on:

  • How timestamps are managed by Bubble (and most computer systems)
  • The concept of time zones and why they can be confusing
  • How to override time zones in different scenarios

Shoutout to @johnny for pointing out that the docs were lacking in this area :raised_hands:
