Gregory on Nostr: What exactly is gained here by writing "last week" instead of the precise timestamp? ...
What exactly is gained here by writing "last week" instead of the precise timestamp? It's not like there's a lack of space there either.
I see this UX mistake very often. It's maddening. GitHub is one of the worst offenders. Instagram is also guilty of this with its "3214 weeks ago".
