Social feed comment timestamps

Activity log elapsed time display
“We have a user activity feed that shows events like logins and file uploads. Instead of showing raw timestamps, I want each event to say something like '2 hours ago' or 'just now'. Can you format these datetimes as relative time strings?”
Upcoming event countdown formatting
“I need to show users how far away their scheduled meetings and deadlines are, using friendly language like 'in 2 days' or 'in 45 minutes' instead of exact timestamps. Can you convert these future datetimes into that kind of relative format?”
