Timezone

I see there is support to change the default time zone for the host. Good practice is to always have the host on UTC time, but it does not appear that the app currently uses the browsers time zone for caclulating the current datetime, it simply uses the servers time. Is this accurate?

I am not very strong in django, but i think this needs to be added to allow the browser to use its own time zone. J ust struggling with where:

from django.utils.timezone import activate
activate(settings.TIME_ZONE)

Yes, I have noticed that to. I think this is because the UI relies on the framework to set the TZ on the server side. So if you set the TZ correctly there (see the TIME_ZONE env var for an example of how to this), everything should work out correctly.

At any rate, this is certainly confusing and needs to be fixed. It is the next thing I intend to work on, but my little one is now dealing with daycare and separation anxiety. Finding myself missing the immobile, sleep-filled days (:

Today I also noticed that the timezone in the frontend is handled differently in different forms too, which is bad. E.g. the Start Timer autofills the date and time with the timezone from the application timezone while all the other add entry forms (e.g. Add Diaper Change) use the local timezone from the browser.
