A .NET library providing fluent extension methods for cleaner DateTime expressions and operations.
FluentDateTime is a .NET library that adds fluent extension methods to DateTime and DateTimeOffset for cleaner and more expressive date and time operations. It solves the problem of verbose and error-prone date manipulation by providing intuitive methods like `1.Weeks().Ago()` and `NextDay()`.
.NET developers who frequently work with date and time calculations and want more readable, maintainable code.
Developers choose FluentDateTime for its simplicity and Ruby-inspired syntax, which reduces boilerplate and makes date handling feel natural without sacrificing performance or compatibility.

Enables chaining methods like `1.Weeks().Ago()` for intuitive calculations, reducing verbose code and minimizing errors in date math.
Provides built-in methods such as `NextDay()` and `Midnight()` for frequently needed operations, eliminating manual calculations for relative dates.
Extends standard DateTime and DateTimeOffset with implicit conversions, allowing expressions like `2022.Mar(23)` to integrate smoothly into existing .NET codebases.
Makes date manipulation more human-readable, as shown in examples like `2022.March(23).At(10, 26)`, which enhances maintainability in business logic.
Focuses only on basic arithmetic and estimations; lacks support for timezone conversions, period calculations, or complex calendar operations, which are admitted omissions in the README.
Adds extension methods to common types like int and DateTime, which can clash with other libraries or custom code, requiring careful namespace management.
The README is brief and relies on unit tests for examples, making it harder for developers to discover all available methods without digging into source code.
