Recommend have {{now +- #}} for people living in another zone. EX {{now - 5}} EST time zone.

Sean Hynes The feature you're suggesting is interesting, but it’s more complex due to time changes, such as Swedish summer time. It wouldn’t be enough to just add or subtract a number. We need to be able to set a time zone to handle these changes correctly.

Lajiao Yes, we would likely do something like this: `{{ "now" | date: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S", "Asia/Colombo" }} to match https://liquidjs.com/filters/date.html
Please create a new ticket if interesting though.
Sean Hynes
Nikhil Gupta Well. seems a bit complex, if your doing UTC time you can just add or subtract a number for hours
Sean Hynes
Nikhil Gupta I created a new feature request , if that's what you mean by ticket.
