This would be super useful. Every project I built has something similar in user land.

Do browsers have a built in IANA tzdb that gets updated regularly? I feel like they must do now, but was that only the case since Temporal? So many kB of js libs could be gone! And now even vanilla js too lol.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use UTC for everything?

I literally built this in my blog years ago. I'd love for it to be native.

I just know that Safari would implement it weirdly that would require custom overwrites. Just like <input type=“search” /> has weird styling

Cool, I've mostly given up for standards to get this right! Countless times I've done libraries to write dates or spans like this: 17.6. ke 17.6. keskiviikko 17.6.2026 17.6.–30.6. 17.6. klo 13 17.6. klo 13–15 Not holding my breath for standards to get this right though!
