[Tiki-devel] Proposal to Replace jquery-timeago with timeago.js in Tiki

Hi Community,

I would like to open a discussion regarding the potential replacement of
the jquery-timeago library currently used in Tiki to display relative
timestamps.

I propose replacing jquery-timeago with *timeago.js
<https://github.com/hustcc/timeago.js>*, a lightweight, dependency-free
JavaScript library that offers similar "time ago" functionality.
*timeago.js* is Smaller and faster and does not have jQuery dependency.

Although *moment.js <https://momentjs.com/>* could technically replace
jquery-timeago, I recommend against this. While Tiki already uses
moment.js, it is in maintenance mode, and its developers recommend
alternatives for new projects.

Furthermore, if Tiki decides to replace *moment.js* with *Day.js
<http://github.com/iamkun/dayjs>* or *Luxon
<http://github.com/moment/luxon>* in the future, these libraries could also
handle relative timestamp formatting, potentially replacing *timeago.js*.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Cheers,
Joseph Kausi
