  • Source code and more details can be found on my GitHub at github.com/jack-weilage/whatcom-live.
  • Designed and built the smallest and fastest date manipulation library in JavaScript. Chronosis weighs in at under 1kb, while performing almost all tasks faster than any other library (even date-fns!).
