Publishing a new version on NPM

Howdy! Big moment.twitter fan. I noticed the latest NPM version is .0.0.1, and it uses an older version of moment.

Looks like 0.0.2 fixes that, but isn't published. @hijonathan , any chance you'd have a moment to publish the new version?

Thanks!

Localization

What about another languages?

Smash some of the TODOs

I made some changes to this code here: SpiderStrategies@9dc8eb0

This takes care of some of your listed TODOs, although it turns the project into JavaScript, which I think is better for modules that are in NPM. Let me know if you'd like a proper pull request.

Bower

Hey mate, can you add a bower.json file to this project?
http://bower.io/#defining-a-package

Thank you in advance :)

moment.twitter requirejs version

I'm looking for a javascript requirejs version of the same. Its a great plugin for moment which I would like to use and is pretty urgent.

Pl help

Indication of future time

I know this script handles times in the future, but the formatting doesn't indicate whether a date is in the past or the future, which leaves things rather ambiguous. Would it be possible to prepend future times with "in" (e.g. "in 5m") or a negative symbol?

wrong dependency declaration for npm

Your module uses its own version of the moment although it would expand an existing one. You should use peerDependencies or devDependencies instead just dependencies.

Issue with hour (over 1 hour) .fromNow() vs .twitter()

Hi there,

When I am using the .fromNow(); function in moment.js (for example, it returns "2 hours ago"), I get the correct amount of hours ago a tweet was posted, but when I use .twitter() instead, it returns the incorrect amount of hours (Instead of returning "2h" it returns "1h"). The tweets are from different feeds posted in different timezones and I convert the timestamps to UTC. Any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks!

passing timestamp as argument

Hi

I need to pass a timestamp as argument like
'moment().twitter(tweet.timestamp_ms);'
Is is possible?

Use .twitter() over a moment.js duration

It would be awesome that the following code would work:

moment.duration(secondsInterval, 's').twitter()

I just have a seconds interval.

Does not work on React-Native 0.22.2

Throws this error -

---

It works if I update the package.json of your repo to use moment ^2.12.0 and run npm install again.
Is there a pitfall to this solution? Or would you accept a PR for this?

License missing

Just so you know, because you're not publishing a license, I break the law in most countries by using your code.

Thanks anyway :-)
