Format dates as timestamps #7

Open hobovsky opened 5 years ago

Currently CodeWars renders most of the dates and timestamps as "time passed" string (Yesterday, 2 weeks ago, 3 years ago) what presents information in a fuzzy way. While it's not usually a problem, sometimes user would like to know an exact point in time: When was an issue raised? When was a translation published? Did X happen after, or before Y? Option to format timestamps as dates or datetimes could be useful in such cases.

In most cases, DOM provides enough information to render timestamps as exact dates and times.

Codewars now presents exact timestamps in a tooltip, so the feature might not be needed anymore. But still the timestamps are not visible immediately, but after hovering a mouse over it.
