Adding a "Days Ago" Indicator to the Post Curation Tool

Hey everyone,

I was catching up on the requests for the Post Curation Tool (PCT) in the recent post by @friendlymoose. I decided to tackle one of them this morning to help move the project forward.

The Feature Request

For context, here is the current list of requested features for the PCT:

• Filtering on post rewards
• Filtering on age of the account
• Indicators for the age of the post <-- This is the one I worked on.
• Filtering on language
• And/Or filtering of variables
• Minimal number of words

The request, originally from @ladyaryastark, was to add a clearer indicator of how old a post is. When you're curating, knowing if a post is a current or a few days old is critical information and not obvious by the timestamp and not everyone is logged in to see the red/purple heart visual.

The Implementation

To address this, I wrote a simple helper function that calculates the time difference between now and when the post was created, and then formats it into a human-readable "X days ago" string. This small addition makes the age of each post immediately obvious at a glance.

Here is the result in action:

It's a small change, but it's a quality-of-life improvement that should make the curation process a little bit smoother. It's always fun to jump in and contribute to a community project, and I'm happy to help bring one of the requested features to life.

As always,
