Timeago
Timeago (GitHub: rmm5t / jquery-timeago, License: MIT) by Ryan McGeary generates fuzzy timestamps (like “less than a minute ago”) from ISO 8601 formatted dates and times:
$('selector').timeago();
It even has i18n support!
This plugin takes advantage of the Datetime Design Pattern microformat.
glDatePicker
glDatePicker (GitHub: glad / glDatePicker) by Gautam Lad is a lightweight date picker, featuring:
- Forward/backward navigation
