Description
The first "stable" release of temporal_rs has recently been made available: https://boajs.dev/blog/2025/09/24/temporal-release
crates.io link: https://crates.io/crates/temporal_rs
There are few TODO items scattered across Robrix related to
For example, here is one in the Timestamp widget: https://github.com/project-robius/robrix/blob/3fa173e5bd0310437b876c35c7c55f35235137ea/src/shared/timestamp.rs#L59-L60
and here's the same example duplicated in the EditedIndicator widget: https://github.com/project-robius/robrix/blob/3fa173e5bd0310437b876c35c7c55f35235137ea/src/home/edited_indicator.rs#L77-L78
I'm not sure if temporal_rs will help make this easier, or if it's too big to be worth the compilation time costs, but we should investigate it nonetheless.

Read the temporal_rs release and crates.io pages first, then inspect the TODOs in src/shared/timestamp.rs and src/home/edited_indicator.rs. Determine whether temporal_rs is suitable for the duplicated date/timezone localization work and whether its compilation cost is acceptable; document the resulting scope and recommendation.
