Description

Create flexible date formatting utilities supporting common formats (YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY, etc.), datetime formatting, and relative time display (2 hours ago, 3 days ago).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at existing date formatting libraries like date fns or moment.js for API design patterns. Consider implementing a simple function that accepts a format string and returns formatted date, and another for relative time.
