Handling dates in JavaScript with Tempo
Day.js is a lightweight alternative to the now deprecated date and time handling library, Moment.js. It is written in JavaScript and uses a similar API to Moment.js. Day.js is sufficient for date operations such as parsing, manipulation, and display. It is designed for use on both the browser and the Node.js runtime.

The Day.js Dilemma: How Should We Handle OSS Maintainers Going MIA?
As web developers, we heavily rely OSS packages. One popular example is Day.js, a JS lib for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. It's a widely-used alternative to Moment, with over 17mil weekly downloads on npm.
A critical bug was discovered in Day.js (see: https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/pull/2118) causing incorrect date manipulation (add, subtract) when in UTC TZ. This could have severe implications for any project relying on Day.js for date-related functionality. However, the maintainer of the project appears to be unresponsive, leaving the bug unresolved and the future of the library uncertain.
This raises some important questions for our community:
- At what point should we consider a widely-used OSS project "abandoned" if the maintainer is unresponsive?
- Is forking the project the best solution, or should we first try to reach out to the maintainer through other channels?
- Are there established community guidelines around responsiveness expectations for widely-used OSS projects?
- What are successful examples of community-driven forks or maintenance after a maintainer stepped away?
I am very aware that many of these developers give their spare time for free for these projects, with little or no payment, and I am very thankful for all their work. This developer does get some money (a small amount?) through OpenCollective, and possibly also works for a company (in China?) that makes a UI library, which I think uses Day.js internally.

👨🚀 Traversing Time with Intl.RelativeTimeFormat()
For the longest time working with dates in JavaScript was a huge pain. That’s why libraries such as moment.js or date-fns are so popular. A lot of times I’d reach for these libraries when working with relative time formatting, but since late last year we’ve had pretty great browser support for the RelativeTimeFormat() method. In my mind, relative dates are just more visually appealing, especially for working with dates internationally. Dates like "5 days ago" or "in 2 months" are far more intuitive for users than 12/12/2023, or 03/11/2027. Folks in the US will see that as March 11, 2027, whereas the rest of the world will see that as November 03, 2027. What a nightmare.

What library do you use to handle dates?
In past i used Moment, but I read that we should avoid to use it for future projects. I read someone suggested to use Datejs, but it doesn't seems to be updated, last time was 8 years ago. Currently I'm thinking to use Luxon but I someone suggest Date-fns also.
