In the true spirit of open source and decentralization, we have open sourced one of our internal modules.<\/p>\n

The use case is to show the difference between two dates in human terms. At the moment, this is being used in SpringRole profiles to show the time for each experience. For example, if someone says April 2014 to May 2016, instead of 400 days, etc, this module enables you to showcase it as 2 years and 1 month, etc.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a week since this went live and has already gotten 156 downloads.<\/p>\n
