It’s what most people want and what people have to keep calculating when you give them time stamps. If you are in a decision making position you’d want to do the same research to see what your users want.
I like to make it show the time stamp on hover / tap.
- kkaske 4y ago> I like to make it show the time stamp on hover / tap. This is exactly what GitHub does (on hover). I'm not sure how they calculate what format to show it in on hover. For me, it's a good balance of getting a feel for the time at a glance while allowing you to see actual time on hover when you need it.
- alexvoda 4y agoI can believe that in the general population that is what people want. However, for the population of GitHub users, I am certain a significantly higher percentage desire precise timestamps. Maybe even in ISO 8601 / IETF RFC 3339. Are you claiming that even among GitHub users the percentage desiring "days ago" is overwhelming? Based on what data?
