Introduction
This plugin allows you to reference any past or future date easily.
How to setup
Drag the element into the page. The element should be visible in order for the plugin to work properly. You can use as many elements as you want or place them into a repeating group.
Basic setup
This plugin has two modes - Current date/time, and Arbitrary date/time.
When you set it to Current date/time the plugin references the time when the user opened the page and starts counting since then.
When you set it to Arbitrary date/time, you have to provide a date that the plugin will take as starting point for counting.
For example:
Sun Jan 01 2025 14:00:00 GMT+0300 (GMT+03:00)
To display the current relative time use the element’s "🕒 formatted relative time" state.
