💡 Idea

This is how I see a notification on the web interface

My browser locale is French so the date should be 08/03/2026 but independently of this the proper date format is ISO8601 (the linked reference dispels all need for discussion on that topic 🙂)

It would be awesome to be able to force all dates to be displayed in that format independently of the browser setting (or hardcoded defaults).

Additionally, the current date/time format makes it impossible to have the correct date for notifications coming from different time zones.
