Hey folks 
Ever pulled in dates from different sources and ended up with a total mess?
Examples like:
-
03/04/05β March 4th, April 3rd, or 2005-04-03?
-
15/08/2025vs08/15/2025
- Timezones written a dozen different ways

Itβs a headache most of us have faced at some point.
Iβve been building an API to help normalize dates + timezonesβand you can try it out for free here:
Smart Date Parser & Timezone Normalizer
Iβd love to hear:
- Have non-uniform dates ever bitten you?
- How do you usually handle them today?
Letβs swap some stories (and maybe some horror stories
).
