would be great! Still missing this feature, anybody else?

Isn't this already there? I think it was extremely light, almost unnoticeable - it's better now with #393.

I've added this feature. Will share it as soon as possible.

make_grid_highlights() {
        // highlight today's date
        if (this.view_is(VIEW_MODE.DAY) || this.view_is(VIEW_MODE.MONTH)) {
          const x =
            date_utils.diff(date_utils.today(), this.gantt_start, 'hour') /
            this.options.step *
            this.options.column_width;
          const y = 0;
       
          const width = this.view_is(VIEW_MODE.DAY) ? this.options.column_width : this.options.column_width / date_utils.get_days_in_month(date_utils.today());
          const height =
            (this.options.bar_height + this.options.padding) *
              this.tasks.length +
            this.options.header_height +
            this.options.padding / 2;
      
          createSVG('rect', {
            x,
            y,
            width,
            height,
            class: 'today-highlight',
            append_to: this.layers.grid,
            style: 'fill: red;'
          });
        }
      }

We already have a good current date indicator.
