Date is out, Temporal is in

It's a common source of off-by-one date formatting bugs in client-rendered web apps, particularly ones that pass around "YYYY-MM-DD" date strings (common for OpenAPI JSON APIs).

  const dateStringFromApiResponse = "2026-01-12";
  const date = new Date(dateStringFromApiResponse);
  const formatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', { dateStyle: 'long' });
  formatter.format(new Date("2026-01-12"));

  // 'January 11, 2026'

I'm having flashbacks to writing Power Automate expressions to reconcile Dates passed from Outlook metadata to Excel

Basically just extracting numbers from string index or regex and rearranging them to a string Excel would recognize
