Human Readable Dates for Obsidian
Displays dates as human-readable relative dates (e.g., '2 hours ago') in Obsidian's live preview.
Chinese summary
在Obsidian的实时预览中将日期显示为人类可读的相对日期（例如'2小时前'）。
Key Use Cases
- Reading daily notes where absolute dates are less intuitive than relative ones like 'yesterday' or '3 days ago'.
- Reviewing recent entries in a journal or log to quickly gauge recency.
- Making timelines in notes more readable at a glance.
Pros
- Makes date information immediately understandable without mental calculation.
- Reduces cognitive load when scanning notes.
- Works seamlessly in live preview mode.
- Lightweight and simple to use.
Limitations
- Only affects live preview; reading view and exports still show absolute dates.
- Limited customization options (likely no formatting tweaks).
- May not suit users who prefer precise absolute timestamps.
