(Feature) Add default timezone in config file
Summary
Currently, the timezone seems to be based on geolocation. This is not very convenient because I sometimes want to schedule in another timezone. Allowing users to set up their preferred timezone would be great.
Reference: in airflow, for example, there is default_timezone setting: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/timezone.html#default-time-zone.
And yes, the drop-down box gives the option to change the timezone, one common mistake I made is forgot to change it...
So does that dropdown gives you what you need? Default timezone just comes from system setting. In containers I just use TZ env variable to set desired timezone. Btw, are you using airflow? What's your opinion on it airflow vs cronicle?

The drop-down menu is inconvenient, the list is very long and (for some timezone) you need to scroll a long way to find the correct item.
I can't set the timezone for my working laptop. The interesting thing is the default timezone is not the tzinfo of the server but client...
Btw, are you using airflow? What's your opinion on it airflow vs cronicle?
I only played with airflow for a few days, I think the web interface it is overcomplex for my job, cronicle is done just right. But as the project grows, I don't know which is better.
OK. On UI it comes from the browser indeed. It's stored in app.tz property, so if you up to dirty tweaks you can even force it to has a specific value (e.g. you can add something likeif(app.username == 'admin') app.tz = 'America/Los_Angeles' somewhere in combo.js file)
In general to add some user specific TZ for UI is pretty straightforward change.

Oh cool! Thanks for the nice idea!
