ui-date: A 1.6kB, zero-dependency JavaScript date & relative time utility
I wanted to share a small open-source project I just published called `ui-date`.
While working on a social media project, I kept bumping into simple UI needs like displaying relative timestamps (*"5 mins ago"*, *"2 hours ago"*), cleanly formatting calendar dates, and doing simple status checks (*isToday*).
exact date formatting for events ui ('Thursday 23,july,2026').
Normally, I'd reach for a date library, but most established options felt like overkill for basic UI formatting, while heavy legacy options like Moment carry massive bundle weight. On the flip side, writing raw `Intl` and `Date` boilerplate across every component was getting tedious.
I wanted something **featherlight**, **chainable**, and **fully typed** without dragging in extra dependencies.
so i built ui-date.
you can check it here : https://www.npmjs.com/package/ui-date
