briefly v1.0.5

briefly

Briefly is a super lightweight library for parsing Dates. It's just a bunch of functions.

Why?

We were working in a project and noticed that another hugely popular library does a lot of stuff, but most importantly, a lot of stuff we didn't need. This library aims to do the exact opposite: it only does a few things, but it's tiny and simple. It's about 100x smaller than the library we were using on our compiled application.

What does it do?

It formats Dates (or returns a formatted new Date()).
