aider: Fixed the issue with dates not being shown correctly on the x-axis.

# Aider chat conversation:

USER: the dates aren't being shown as dates on the x-axis. they are coming out as large integers like 1,888,000,000,000

ASSISTANT: To fix the issue with the dates not being shown correctly on the x-axis, we need to modify the `xAxes` configuration in the Chart.js options. Here's the *SEARCH/REPLACE block* with the necessary changes:

          xAxes: [{
            type: 'time',
            time: {
              unit: 'month',
              tooltipFormat: 'll'
            },

          xAxes: [{
            type: 'time',
            time: {
              unit: 'month',
              tooltipFormat: 'll',
              parser: 'YYYY-MM-DD'
            },
            ticks: {
              callback: function(value, index, values) {
                return new Date(value).toLocaleDateString();
              }
            },
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```

The changes made are:

1. Added the `parser: 'YYYY-MM-DD'` option to the `time` configuration to specify the date format used in the data.
2. Added a `ticks.callback` function to format the tick labels on the x-axis as localized date strings.

These modifications should ensure that the dates are displayed correctly on the x-axis of the scatter plot.
