What problem do you want to solve with this change?

Moment library is in maintenance mode

What do you think is the correct solution?

Migrate MagicMirror to another Datetime library that is lightweight, usable and supports timezone calculations well.

Participation

  • I am willing to submit a pull request for this change.

Additional comments

Javascript Date is not very usable especially with calculations and timezones and Moment (and Moment Timezone) are currently in maintenance mode. Luxon is the succesor of Moment that uses the Intl API. There are probably other options aswell which we can discuss here.
