openpanel Feature Request: Allow tracking events that happened in the past.

I run background jobs that might be delayed for various reasons. For example, although a user signs up at 10:30 AM, the background job to track the sign up and run downstream workflows might not run until 10:45 AM. If the user performs additional steps / page views after signing up, it could look like they viewed a page before signing up when they actually signed up before viewing a page.

Idea: An optional timestamp property when tracking events.

This is the only thing keeping me from OpenPanel so I would love to see it implemented.

I have started to look at this (to keep you in the loop)

Thanks! Let me know if you need me to test anything out.

I'm done with this but refactored related code quite a bit so want to do some thorough testing before merging this.

Here is the PR: https://github.com/Openpanel-dev/openpanel/pull/76

I just realized that the nextjs sdk doesnt take a timestamp property. Any chance we can get that added in?

Just pass "__timestamp: isodate" as a property. On mobile now, sorry for bad example
