@hasarindaKI I've pulled this out as I don't think it's close enough to ready to continue with.
The goal I had in mind was that dates and times would be relative when it's helpful, and absolute when it's not.

A lot of what you've done here is already available in Rails: ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words
ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper#distance_of_time_in_words
I think the hard part is working out when to use that helper vs when to use absolute dates.
I've pushed a WIP commit that I hope shows my thinking about how this could work.
I think the date maths stuff should be in Koi::DateHelper – you can delete everything else there.
