When you make a post on Facebook it will say “2 seconds” ago and after some time it will update to “about a minute ago”. Is there a way to do easily that in rails with the default timestamps? Facebook does this automatically with no page refresh
Sure…You can do so with some pretty easy JS. Take a look at Timeago by Ryan McGeary. It does exactly what you’re looking to do and it’s pretty slick.

Lots of sites use this kind of functionality including Twitter, FB, Basecamp, etc…
