[FEATURE]I want to display absolute time.

Open ncy35 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I want the time display of the post to be absolute time. Alternatively, choose between relative and absolute time.

Example **minutes ago ⇔ ** : **

Absolute time display allows posts to have absolute information. convenience. This makes Nostr posts even more informative.

It would be nice if the date could also be displayed.

If absolute time is displayed then time zones have to be taken into account. I guess users local time zone would be appropriate?

Fitting absolute time in, especially in combination with date, might be tricky. Would be amazing seeing some UI mockup!

If we need to propose a UI change, we will propose a new schedule.

Is absolute time difficult? Am I setting the timezone wrong? Is it difficult to pick up from the user's device or OS? If it's difficult to display on the timeline, it's okay to just view the post details screen. Is it too difficult?

I'm not familiar with development, so I may not have thought of it.

I'm also considering the note screen a good starting point rather than the feed.

We might need a good way to format multiple time differences. For instance, if it is in the same day in the user's timezone, you can show just the time, but if it is in a different day, then you have to show the date as well. Same for the year. There is no screen space for a full date and time, though.
