Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am experiencing two issues

  1. The subject text + Date next to each other is giving formatting issues, as #1672 should at least partially solve
  2. In my overview I can only see when something is planned (exactly) when I open each card individually due to the approximate due date

Describe the solution you'd like
In the Android Deck app, the date is shown as an actual date, in the following format: Jan 24

This would be a solution to both the above issues;

  1. Less width is used as a result from which the text will also gain some more space.
  2. People can see the actual dates from their overview.

This will also bring the Android and Web App more in line with each other.

The following screenshot shows the difference in which the two apps show the same board. In my opinion the Android App shows the view more tidy.

Research direction

Start by tracing the web overview cards' due-date display and compare it with the Android screenshot, including the requested Jan 24 format. Done means the overview shows actual dates and the subject/date layout has more room; the issue names no files or tests, so identify the relevant entry point and checks first.
