I’ve added the option for yesterday in there for the next release.
An option for “today” is a little tricky and might cause more confusion for users than it’s worth though. A few issues with it:
– “Today” is relative to where a user is in the world, so I could see a bunch of support issues where users might expect the last 24 hours vs. from midnight forward (which is what it would be).
– The underlying caching used for API calls could cause some confusion… People interested in “today” are going to be more inclined to want more up to date (non-cached) data than someone looking at “yesterday” (which is only going to change once a day).
A straight date range would obviously give the most flexibility, but might not be worth the clutter added. Like you would still want the preset days drop-down for simplicity, but then you are also adding 2 additional date fields at the top there. Not sure that would be worth it (at least not for the dashboard widget, since it’s intended to be something quick and easy and simple).
Either way, the “yesterday” option has been added for the next release. The today or arbitrary date options I’m going to have to give some thought to figure out if there’s a way to do it without adding clutter/confusion.
