Calender day or goal day shortcut?

[dreev]

From an implementation perspective goal day makes everything nice and elegant. I’ll quote myself in another thread:

Earlier deadlines unfriendly to QS info (i.e. data is incorrect)

We agonized about this a lot when implementing arbitrary deadlines. See section 4 + the appendix of the arbitrary deadlines spec. Short answer is that the data has the true timestamps but we do treat the deadline as the day boundary for purposes of graphing and displaying. It became a worse-is-better vs the-right-thing debate and I predict @mary will be horrified that we rejected “the right thing” but, well, read about the worse-is-better philosophy before yelling at us too much… (: PS: Speaki…

And later in that same thread, this:

Earlier deadlines unfriendly to QS info (i.e. data is incorrect)

(No separate export though, just throw in an additional column.) @chipmanaged, you are amazing. Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful feedback. Until we get to this, I think the workaround, as you suggested, is to stay hyperaware of the deadline as end-of-day and remember to enter data after it as “yesterday”. Also I just rem…

Interested to hear if you think adding an additional column in the CSV export with calendar day would make this feel less wrong.
