Since I can never bring myself to remember the exact syntax and mentally do the timezone conversions, I always find myself having to type out new Date().toISOString() in the dev console and copy and paste those damn ISO 8601 date strings.

So I went ahead and created this little tool with my good friend Gemini, who handsomely helped complete it with obscure date string formats, random historical events, and other physics trivia. Fun little project! By my estimates, this tool should save me about 45 seconds of work per week!
