Hi Kent!

I found your Youtube live stream "Contributing to Open Source on GitHub for beginners". It was very inspiring and gave me a whole new perspective.

I'd like to add a feature to format JS Date to a string based on how much time has elapsed, e.g "5 hours ago" like Instagram shows time. It's inspired by this answer on StackOverflow.
