Timespan manipulation

[jmorgannz]

What's the Problem?

No calculator app I have ever used has an option for 'timespan' mode, where one can run math operations on timespans without having to do the mental arithmetic to convert from base 60? to base 10 decimal.

Solution/Idea

It would be great to have this in DevToys. Both for adding/subtracting/etc timespans; It might be nice to also allow conversion from different time formats - such as unix fromat etc. also.

Use cases might be, finding the average hours slept per night for one week, which would involve:

• For each day, subtract the wake time from the bed time to get hours slept
• Add all seven together
• Divide by 7

Of course you can do this on a regular calculator but it will be showing decimal time.

Another use case might be calculating the time 36hr from now:

• Take the current time
• Add 36h
• Optionally allow viewing the result in hours, or converting to days:hours if more than 24hr?

Alternatives

Use calculator in decimal mode

Thank you for your suggestion 😊 @btiteux , what do you think? It sounds more of a calculator than simply timestamp parser/converter.

I also will be nice if DevToys can convert timestamp into GMT or others human readable form

Hi, This is not a duplicate as this is not about formatting time. It is about performing arithmetic on timespans.

Oh you're right, my bad, sorry about that. :)
