@novalis hi, I found a bug in deco deck.

It thinks today is Thursday. It is unfortunately only Wednesday.

@m Weird! Android or iOS? Is it always off by one, or was it just on July 5?

Thanks for the report.

@m Oh, I got the julian date calculations wrong (forgot to truncate to integer).

Will upload a fixed version soon. Thanks for the report.

@m I actually read that thread that at the time, and immediately searched my company's codebase for instances of that bug, and then submitted code reviews to fix them. (I think it was actually YYYY vs yyyy in our case). So, thanks for saving me again!
