The community members are discussing how to convert a date string, $ws$dataSource$R0KbIHO_uPJv9pQNHA5j0["published_at"], to display the time elapsed since the publication (e.g., "6 min ago"). The suggested options are:
1. Perform the conversion on the backend if it supports it.
2. Use the date variable in an HTML embed and employ JavaScript to calculate the time elapsed.
The community members provide some guidance on using the Intl.RelativeTimeFormat API in JavaScript, but the OP struggles with the code implementation. They suggest using ChatGPT to help with the task, as they find the JavaScript code challenging.
There is no explicitly marked answer in the comments, but the community members provide suggestions and guidance to help the OP achieve the desired functionality.
