stamp
A Ruby gem that formats dates and times using human-friendly example strings instead of strftime directives.
What is stamp?
Stamp is a Ruby gem that formats dates and times by using example strings as templates instead of traditional strftime directives. It solves the problem of memorizing complex format codes by allowing developers to provide a human-readable example (like "March 1, 1999") and automatically applying that format to their dates and times.
Ruby developers who work with date and time formatting in their applications, particularly those who find strftime directives difficult to remember or read in code.
Developers choose Stamp because it makes date formatting more intuitive and maintainable—code becomes self-documenting with clear example strings, reducing the cognitive load of format specifiers.
