Date option for commands

[Shamil-FD]

Dates can be annoying since there are many formats of it, even if you specify what format the bot is looking for, people still mess it up. Having a date option and letting the user select the date with a calendar panel and sending a date object (or something similar) back would be amazing. Let me know what you think about this idea

This is actually something i would like to see too, while we can see the date in embeds based on the UNIX timestamp at the bottom there is no way in displaying a date to users in their own timezone.
It could have some simple implementation like a role display or channel display based on the <#...> <@...> with a simple <$UNIX timestamp id> like <$35435455> would display the time towards a user...

Yes there is, using UNIX Timestamp Markdown as described here -> https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-formats (with specific timestamp styles listed below that table)
