Time, relatively speaking in Site Updates

I was going to add time zones as a settings feature, but then decided that relative time is more interesting anyway. So instead of August 15, 2013 6:32PM, you get: 2 minutes ago

Then time zones become irrelevant as they are on most modern social networking services. And it's nice to see how long ago things were updated. I'll probably migrate all of the Prosebox timestamps to this.

I also swapped the Latest Entries column into the middle on the main page. Then when things collapse on a phone display, you scroll to the latest entries more quickly.

I like it! Although I would like the option of having the date too.

After a few days it will revert to a date. So you don't have to worry about "730 days ago" or something like that.

  • Ooh, this sounds good! I am on GMT, and always got a little confused at the time differences I saw in the PB and the clock on my computer. xD.
    Love what you have been doing here! Main page looking really good!

  • Also, I always like relative time as it is how it be done on Twitter, so I am quite used to this way of track. xD.

I agree. "Two minutes ago" sounds the most exciting.
