Days Remaining Until Due Date

[ghost]

• Adding the number of days remaining until a specified due date of a task will help for users to visualise deadlines, etc.
• Toggles can be added to the settings for the plugin to adjust the view of the task to the user's liking (e.g. disabling the number of days remaining or disabling the due date itself).
• Separators can be added between the fields of the task's name, due date, days remaining and list location to tidy the view.

Please see the image below for an example of how this might look.

Thank you! See also #368. Sorry I forgot about that one.

Any updates on that?

No

Actually, yes.... Someone implemented approximately this via CSS - the code is available in Show & Tell:

• Due date styles ✨ #2232

@claremacrae Thank you! this works almost perfectly, today is 26th and tasks on 28th show up as "due tomorrow", it is supposed to show up as "due in 2 days", every single future due date is shifted by one day while the past ones work right, 24th shows as "due 2 days ago" not "due yesterday". What am I missing?

I do not know, and I do not have the capacity to user support on CSS code - so if it doesn't work for you, then it was at least worth a try. Perhaps there is something time-zone specific and you are a long way from UTC?

Followed up in:

It actually works but it just shifts the days. As for the time-zone thing, how would it be explained that both today and tomorrow count as today?
