To display timestamps exported from Noodle to csv files in Microsoft Excel, format the column as custom with this pattern;

yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.000

To show just the date one of these formulae can be used;

=DATE(YEAR(B2),MONTH(B2),DAY(B2))
=CONCAT(YEAR(B2),"-",MONTH(B2),"-",DAY(B2))

To show just the time one of these formulae can be used;

=TIME(HOUR(B2),MINUTE(B2),SECOND(B2))
=CONCAT(HOUR(B2),":",MINUTE(B2),":",SECOND(B2))

Like all formula the above examples can be applied to whole columns by copy pasting, dragging, or double clicking.

Note that Microsoft Excel does not respect original formatting so any save (without any edit) can convert a timestamp into a number representing seconds since epoch.

Noodle respects requests for dark mode with the "prefers-color-scheme:dark" CSS that can be customized.

Web Browsers respect requests for dark mode by the Operating System, and can be customized:

  • Firefox:
    • about:config > ui.systemUsesDarkTheme=1
  • Firefox(Android):
    • Settings > Customize > Dark
  • Chrome(Desktop):
    • chrome://flags > "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents"
    • Note that as of v85 Chrome "prefers-color-scheme" is not supported, instead chrome will attempt to write it's own CSS for the page, often causing breakage (still true @ v105).
    • use chrome --force-dark-mode --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode to fix bug on Linux.

Operating Systems can be customized to use dark mode:

  • Windows:
    • Settings > Personalization > Colors > Choose your color > Dark
  • MacOS:
    • Apple > System Preferences, General, Appearance > Dark
  • Gnome/KDE(Linux):
    • Settings > Appearance > Dark
    • Tweaks > Appearance > Legacy > Dark
  • Android(Linux):
    • Settings > Display > Dark theme
  • iOS:
    • Settings > Display & Brightness > Dark

The Business Continuity Plan for local installs is mostly up to the client and we provide a site export feature by which all data is converted to standard formats in a zip file to avoid vendor lock-in. We also have a HA option. and restoring from backups can be tested in a virtual machine.

Hosted instances have security measures in place and can be restored to any cloud or local environment. We maintain backup domains with multiple registries.
