Anyone is free to jump in and tweak stuff. In fact we encourage it😉

You may wanna look in user_timeline.js somewhere inside Twitter folder. The stuff is there.

@PuruVJ Do correct me if I'm wrong. I think this is related to hbs templates under the 'renderer' folder.
Let me know

The date generation and manipulation happens in the file I started above. You'll find a statement don't datetime formatting. It needs to be changed to the current date.

in utils/date.js u have to do this --> const formatTimestamp = () => format(new Date(), "MMM d, yyyy"); this will give current date.

It should be set to today's date only when passing user ID.

No changes when reading threads

No no! This is a common util function and should stay so. The change needs to happen in user_timeline.js only. formatTimestamp(new Date().toString()) should do it.

i made changes in useer-timeline-endpoint.js
previous: resp.common.created_at = formatTimestamp(user.created_at);
now: resp.common.created_at = formatTimestamp(new Date());
now its working

yes i realised that i was changing the whole global function which would change dates everywhere
