Time zone and humanized numbers #36

Closed bbengfort closed 8 years ago

bbengfort commented 8 years ago

On the dates their is some weirdness, they say:

"03:21 PM"

Which is 15:21 but sort of looks like 03:21 am, and it's confusing.

Also, the dates are in UTC time, so either:

put the timezone as part of the string
convert the timezone to local time.

If you could also add humanization, that would be really helpful for example:

add time since now "3 hours ago" to finished, in addition to the duration.
add intcomma to the big numbers: 133,791 instead of 133791.

That would really help, thanks!

Ok - I sorted this out (sorry - needed to get this into production)
