Timezones are relevant? Duration is relative.

desimone commented 11 years ago

Right ! But imagine how useful it would be to compare the duration of two events given timezone. For example, use my airplane use case.. what if you don't know the duration of the flight, only arrival and departure time?

Yeah I've been thinking about adding support for actual time data. That means supporting ISO 8601 in its entirety. Lots of work.

It sounds like it could be fun to implement, though. Maybe :)

Having a small dependency would not be killer.

evanisnor commented 11 years ago

a small dependency on what?

All of this is supported by Moment.js/Moment Timezone. You could just use that, keeping this library very simple: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/durations/
