Cryptography, date-time management, and internationalization. Three things that software developers should always use battle-tested libraries for instead of rolling out their own implementation.

Bring me some more of these JS native APIs tips! When I first started out with web dev i remember this was one of the hardest part for me, it took a embarrassingly long time to learn about .toDateString

The main advantage of using a library like momentjs over this is that those libraries can usually automatically format it into the relevant time interval without you needing to specify it yourself.

Your last tip may work for calculating days, but it breaks down if calculating years due to leap years. Also doesn't account for leap seconds, if that matters for your program.

The simple math part is a bad idea. With time, there are always exceptions (ie the time that one country skipped a day).

I literally was dealing with this problem yesterday and instead looked up a barely working time since function on stackoverflow. THANKS!

use multi-date lib its light weight and super useful for formatting dates, add dates and even compare it

Pro Tip: Also add the "title" attribute in the html with your initial date
