Local‑time vs. UTC display for CodePen Pen timestamps: which trade‑off serves collaboration best?

Goal: decide whether CodePen should add a user‑selectable option to show Pen timestamps in UTC instead of relying on the viewer’s local time zone, given that all timestamps are stored in UTC and currently rendered via the browser’s locale.

Constraint: the absence of a built‑in setting forces collaborators in different regions to see different local times for the same Pen update, creating ambiguity; developers who need uniform times must implement their own conversion logic inside the Pen, which may conflict with existing date‑based logic that assumes local display.

Questions: Would a UTC‑display toggle reduce confusion for international teams? Does the current local‑time behavior satisfy the majority of solo developers? How would introducing a UTC option affect Pens that depend on the displayed local time for countdowns or scheduling?
