Time and day formatting

[asuh]

Time and day formatting easier to read as lowercase format.

1m = one minute
1h = one hour
1d = one day
1w = one week

More than one week and it'd be better to use explicit dates.

2023 = Feb 4
<2023 = Feb 4, 2022

Main issue I see is minutes. Seeing something like 7M makes me see seven months instead of seven minutes.

Would love an option to exclusively use explicit dates/times. When the option is available, I always choose absolute dates instead of relative times.

Done. Let me see what do you think.

• relative format is lowercase (1m, 2d, 3w, 5mo)
• Months are 'mo', minutes are 'm'
• Two new settings for absolute time format.

@barredo That's awesome, thanks! One quirk I can see is a full page reload, even a hard reload, brings back the previous formatting before it kicks in again to show the updated formatting. It seems to transition to the new formatting about 60 seconds after the reload?

It's probably related to you work on #71

So responsive, thank you! This is delightful! 🙌

I'm noticing the same quirk, that even after saving, it didn't take effect immediately.

And, I don't want to seem unappreciative of the setting (which is AWESOME, love it!) but I would love if the option was to inclue date AND time, e.g.: "Mar 12 15:37") (24hr is what I'd normally use, but 12 hr time works, too.)

If you want to get creative, Better TweetDeck has an option that you can choose which is relative time for the last 24 hrs, but then after 24hrs, it switches to absolute date/time. I don't personally use that one, but I think a lot of people like it for recognizing HOW recently a recent post was made... but after that, they want to see the full absolute date and time.

Once again, thank you so much for responding to user feedback!
