Due Dates At Midnight Not Always Intuitive
nakariasan says:
When I type in "Today at midnight" or "Tonight at midnight", it is interpreted as that morning at 12am, when I really mean midnight of the next day (technically speaking). When I simple type in "midnight", this is not the case, you have obviously thought of this and implemented it to some extent
So although midnight is TECHNICALLY part of the next day, I think it would be much more intuitive for users, for it to interpret "Tonight/Today at Midnight" as midnight of the next day, even though that is not technically part of the same day.

nakariasan, thanks for your feedback on this. When a due time is specified without a day, it will automatically be set to the next occurrence of that time. So, when 'midnight' or '12am' is entered, it's interpreted as the next midnight to occur (i.e. the start of the next day).
If a due day is specified along with the time, it will always use that due day (if we interpreted 'today at midnight' as due tomorrow, it wouldn't be possible to enter a task that actually was due at the start of today).
Hope this helps!
