Time display and time-diff (timeago) elements for Polymer

Demo and API docs

time-display

A set of elements for dealing with time in Polymer

<time-display> is an element to display time in human readable format using fecha

<time-diff> is an element to display relative time in human readable format (i.e. "timeago")

For both elements, the datetime should be provided as an ISO 8601 formatted string (UTC) or 'now' to use the current system datetime. Each user will see the time difference and display based on their own local time.

Examples:

<time-display datetime="2016-08-23T12:00:00.00" format="dddd, MMMM Do, YYYY"></time-display>

Displays: 'Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016' (in Mountain-Time timezone)

<time-diff></time-diff>

Displays: '5 minutes ago' (after 5 minutes) and updates as time goes on

<time-diff datetime="2016-08-23T12:00:00.00"></time-diff>

Displays: '2 days ago' (when this was authored)

time-display's Issues

No open source license :-(

This looks like an open source project but I found no license information.
What do you think about putting it under an open license such as MIT?
Can't use it as it is now. :-(

Edit: In the bower file it says MIT but nowhere else. Maybe just add the MIT license in the project root / README?

Time Zone oddity

I'm using . The timestamps are in ISO 8601 format, example 2016-09-13T23:40:25.463Z. When I put this time into it renders as "in 4 hours" which is my current UTC offset. It appears it isn't calculating the timezone offset correctly.
