Ask HN: Editing Date Formats for Different Regions?
1 comments
To me, at the early stages of an MVP, the relationship with users should be intimate enough that date format doesn't matter because either the developer has chosen the format that works or the users are getting enough value that a quirk in date format doesn't matter.
Alternatively, avoid dates in the MVP if the minimum does not require it.

Example: Americans - MM | DD | YYYY vs Aussies - DD | MM | YYYY
If you do, did you allow for this change at the get go of your MVP or did you wait for a little traction and see what region that traction is within?
Or did you resolve this by using a fancy editor where its <Name of Day> of <Name of month> selector? (Drop down boxes)
