calendar off-by-one error

[intrepidlemon]

The calendar page seems to display conferences one day offset from their actual dates. This behavior is the same for conferences regardless of timezone.

if it helps, I'm in the America/New_York timezone. I don't expect that I should be a day off from Vancouver Canada.

Hi thanks for reporting this, it does seem to be a timezone issue as it shows correctly in London timezone. I'll look into this. Cheers!

thank you, really appreciate it. I tried looking into it a bit:

Seems like this is where the start and end dates get parsed: https://github.com/paperswithcode/ai-deadlines/blob/597cc7d66f5f0146c9cee6e5c400a334435a1d7f/_includes/calendar.js#L120

Might be due to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse#non-standard_date_strings ?

I'm not entirely sure where timezones get mixed up in this loop though.
