They exist in the exported data. It'd require a weekend's worth of effort to roll out a new feature that gives users a toggle to turn timestamps off and on.

It's trivial, but we will never see it. The people in charge of UX/UI don't care about what users say they want, they all know better.

Yeah… even in the Web interface if you crack open Developer Tools and look at the json, the timestamps are all there, available in the data model. Those values are simply not displayed to the end user.

I was looking to write a browser extension and this was a preliminary survey for me.

There’s a very long list of “weekends’s worth of effort” jobs that exist in our product that’ll probably never get done because of just the general distinctions of product development instead of some conspiracy by Big Designer.
