KDEDateLabel
A UILabel subclass for iOS that automatically updates to display relative time (e.g., '5 minutes ago') without manual refreshing.
What is KDEDateLabel?
KDEDateLabel is a specialized UILabel subclass for iOS applications that simplifies displaying relative timestamps. It automatically updates its text to show how much time has passed since a given date, eliminating the need for manual refresh logic when using 'time ago' formats.
iOS developers building apps that need to display dynamic, auto-updating time labels, such as in social media feeds, messaging interfaces, or activity logs.
Developers choose KDEDateLabel because it reduces boilerplate code by handling time-based UI updates automatically, supports custom formatting via a closure, and integrates seamlessly with Interface Builder for visual design.
