    Hi so I'm completely new to toddle coming from Low Code / no Code building in Tadabase. Im working on a planning app for musical and theater tours across europe. So i work a lot with dates. Supabase is my backend of choice. Im still evaluating front end builders. I like a lot about toddle, but I'm a little shocked that there is no real way to work with dates other than epoch. That is big big issue for me. Am I missing something?

    You should be able to work with pretty much any dates using the formulas they have available, in particular the Format Date formula that has a ton of options around how to display dates, timezones, etc.

    for an api call i needed tomorrows date. I wanted to build a timetracking app. show all the days with aggregated working hours in an accordion and have all the recordings for each day inside the accordion. to get the corresponding records from the db i need to pass the date of the day that is clicked and the date of the day after that to get all records between eg. 03-11-25 00:00:00 and 03-12-25 00:00:00. so i need something easy like add day but instead i have to convert it to epoch add a day in ms than convert it back to date and than format it the way supabase expects which is the next problem...

    What you'll find is that this level of flexibility is what will allow you to build anything in toddle. It's not a 'no code' tool in the traditional sense

    With no code tools you'll find limitations, which is why toddle isn't trying to be a no code tool

    What you said is correct though, here's an example of how you can get a rolling 7-day week:

    For getting a list of times for a day, I went with a custom formula route but it is doable with the native toddle formulas
