UX paper cut: If I tell or ask an app about something "tomorrow" and the time is somewhere between 0 and ~4 during the night, it should take that as "next morning" instead of the actual tomorrow. Or at least warn me.

Signed, person who missed his bus because he looked at the wrong day's schedule.

@nicd Agreed, it should be universal.

I’m kind of surprised Siri will handle this use case with reminders given it sometimes struggle with more basic commands but I’m glad it does.

@nicd I hear in Japan they count 30 hours in the day, with the last six after midnight overlapping with the first six of the next day. So instead of going to bed (or finishing your shift, or the last bus arrives) at 02:30 on Monday, you'd express that time as 26:30 on Sunday

although a website wouldn't know if you're up late or up early... perhaps between 22:00 and 06:00 it should not use "today" and "tomorrow" but say "Sunday" and "Monday"
