When I try to parse a relative date (- 180 days) it will fail.
Going back 20 days (-20days) works fine.

Tested it incrementally until 100 days in the past. This won't work, where 99 days will work.

A screenshot:

Would be nice the timestamp can be auto detected if in milliseconds or even microseconds.

I often has to use nanosec level timestamps (yay c++) but I have to add the zeros at the end manually now to pad it.

Could it be added into the option dropdown?

As you might already know PHP's strtotime() is pretty strong when it comes to parsing English date/time strings. The awesome php.js community has developed a vanilla javascript implementation of the function.

Wanted to share my thought that it might come handy in Utime and make it more perfect.

Issue

Wrong time conversion
1678608000000 converted to 2023-03-12T09:00:00

Expected

2023-03-12T08:00:00 is correct time

I was searching for something similar, but my idea was to convert ANY timestamps on a page on fly to readable dates. All essential stuff of date conversion is already implemented, so making this feature is just a matter of some regexps and tuning.

To configuration can be added two number settings: FROM timestamp and TO timestamp. Then we search on a page for a string of decimal digits of strlen(FROM) length, then numerically compare it to FROM and TO, and if it is between, then convert to what output date preferences say. Example settings would be e.g:
FROM = 1234567890 — famous date, remember it ? :-)
TO = either unset (for no upper limit) or 2222222222 or similar

To distinguish converted dates from original page information either some special HTML symbol can be added to the output OR some non-html inline element like <x-myutime-123> with click event bound to extension for e.g. some later processing or bringing date to utime popop. But for the latter I can't think of any useful use case.

This is definitely needed when working with databases!
