    ISO-8601 over all other formats. 2023-08-09T21:11:00Z

    Simple, sortable, intuitive.

      Too long. Even 2023-08-09 is too long for me. But since I like the readability I use 2023.08.09. Less pixels and more readable then 20230809.

        You should be localizing it before displaying to users. Let their browser/platform decide.

        Personally I can’t stand the format you’ve shown. I also can’t stand periods being used for phone numbers, e.g. 555.555.5555.

        Same number of pixels, they are just different colours. But you still paid for them.

        Although I actually like that format a lot, we use characters to help elicit context. 2023/08/09 is fine since we have been using / for dates for so long. Also it blows my mind why people don’t use : in 24 hour times. 16:40 is great, no am pm bullshit and you immediately know I’m talking time.
