I don't see any reason not to allow visitors to change the epoch, as long as it doesn't interfere with or clutter normal usage.

Presets could be provided for Discord and Twitter, as well as allowing any arbitrary input date.

Sharing timestamp links would have to include the custom epoch in the URL.

A button or checkbox should be added that anonymizes the input snowflake by assigning random bits to all of the non-datetime bits in the snowflake. This would allow users to share their snowflake URL without their exact ID. I know these IDs are not really private information, but some users may want to use this function.

Hello,
As title says,
Whenever i copy the link generated by pasting message id, users have to open their browser to check it
Im asking if its possible for the link to instant timestamp embedded in discord channel
Thanks in advance

When you hold shift on a message it opens a new context menu that lets one quickly copy the id but the return value is different

returns
423250272316293120-938804470408699954 (channel_id-message-id) instead of just 938803791346679809 (message-id)
currently using this will yield

Hello! I use your tool for inserting the join dates and promotion dates of users into a MySQL database. Would it be possible to get the output in YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format to match ISO 8601?

As discretely as possible to avoid clutter and confusion, it would be nice to display the other numbers (worker ID, process ID, increment) that are encoded into the snowflake.

I don't know what that means but Firefox reported that it couldn't load the fonts because of it.

Extending #59, generate images for Discord/Twitter embeds instead of the current text timestamp. It should look something like the top part of the current output on the site. The image URLs don't have to be short so we can use a nice long URL containing the time zone and locale to cache images to avoid repeated generation.

Add support for other languages, possibly using svelte-i18n.

Channels, forum posts, threads, and messages have direct links that are accessible without developer mode enabled. For messages, there is a right-click menu option labeled "Copy Message Link", and it's also accessible in the holding-shift button bar atop messages. For all the others, the option is just "Copy Link".

On mobile, message links are also available via sharing, but my discord client is woefully outdated so I don't know exactly what that looks like.

On Discord's web client, channel links are also available as the current address.

Those links look like one of these (snowflakes anonymized just in case):

• For a channel, thread, or forum post: https://discord.com/channels/299000000000000000/1058000000000000000
• For a message: https://discord.com/channels/1039000000000000000/1039000000000000000/1109000000000000000

If such a URL is pasted in the textbox, the snowflake should just be detected as the last section of the URL.

Perhaps the other snowflakes in the URL could be analyzed as well and displayed in a smaller font size? Note that the first snowflake, the guild ID, may instead be replaced with @me in a valid Discord URL when the channel is a DM or Group DM.

Add a toggle for dark mode! 🌑

5 minute mockup:

The main text field really needs to clearly be an input field. Look here for ideas: https://dribbble.com/tags/dark_input_field

It would be useful if you would add an option to get the time difference between 2 discord snowflakes. Useful when checking if giveaway winner dmed me on time or is late.

Allow the user to choose any time-zone for the output, regardless of their device's time-zone.

The giant-emoji-as-logo approach is fun but creates an inconsistent look across platforms.

The ideal logo would be an SVG to keep file size to a minimum, and it should look good on light and dark backgrounds.

The logo will also be used in embeds and the favicon.

I wanted to see if I could paste in a id made in 2024 with the epoch being first second of 2024, It gave me 2015, so we should be able to change the epoch in a little text box somewhere.

Like in this screenshot, if you enter an invalid snowflake, it gets stuck at that snowflake and you have to re-enter a valid snowflake into the URL for it to work again.

I like TS and the only reason this project isn't written in it is because I started it before learning TS.

The problem

Doesn't recognise the snowflake I pasted.

The conclusion

Overall, it works great and does what it's supposed to.
10/10 would recommend.

I thought I needed it for #59 but I didn't. But now I want it for better SEO and load time, and maybe some other good stuff in the future.

Consider porting the project to SvelteKit

A number of people have asked me how they can use the snow-stamp site in their code to convert snowflakes to timestamps. There is an impression that whatever my site is doing it can't be done locally in one line of code.

An expandable info section should be added to the page that explains how to derive the unix milliseconds from snowflake IDs. A JS code snippet could be included like so:

let timestamp = new Date(mySnowflake / 4194304 + 1420070400000)

By providing some flags in the discord timestamp like

<t:timestamp:flag>

Discord will change thre apperance of the timestamp.
I think it would be great, if snow-stamp would offer a dropdown menu next to the field where you can copy that timestamp to select, which flag to use.
This way users can just copy their desired timestamp in one go and don't have to edit it afterwards.

I have no idea how accessible the site is, which likely means it is not very.

I don't have any experience in this area so I'll have to get some research done.

I'm not asking anyone to do this work for me but if anyone has a hot tip, a good svelte library, or any helpful comment, I'd be so grateful to hear about it!

For example, for the snowflake 875220877896200262, it displays as
Central Standard Time
8/11/2021, 10:35:18 PM
when it should instead be displaying as
Central Daylight Time
8/11/2021, 10:35:18 PM

(It's showing the correct UTC-5 time for CDT, but not quite the correct timezone text for it.)

Simply using the ambiguous "Central Time" rather than coding it to show the correct Standard/Daylight text would probably be an acceptable solution with less work involved, though a less precise solution.

Use a library like nanoid to generate short hashes for all URL parameters on the server if the user requests a shortened URL. These would have to be stored in a database. Tutorial?

Also, get a custom domain name for Snow-Stamp. If you have any good ideas for one, leave a comment here!
I'm going with snowsta.mp!

I am wary of people sharing Snow-Stamp links and cutting off query parameters, thinking they are useless. Most websites have taught us that they are, because they're most often used for tracking data.

Query parameters are currently used for everything in Snow-Stamp:

s: snowflake
f: encoded snowflake
t: encoded time-zone
l: locale

I should try to replace as much of these as possible with routing. The snowflake can go right after the url, e.g. pixelatomy.com/snow-stamp/86913608335773696. I will have to figure out how to differentiate an encoded snowflake from an un-encoded one.

The time-zone and locale don't fit the routing paradigm as well as the snowflake does. Maybe it would be better for those to remain as query parameters. If anyone knows of a better solution, I'd appreciate your input!

Also, I have to remember to keep the site backwards compatible with query parameters so old links still function

Hi!
I have written a discord_chat hook with selenium,
when I compare the snowflake with the timestamp of the received message, the snowflake timestamp is in the future, it differs by 600ms.

Log: chat-messages___chat-messages-828248808311357441
2021-04-04T12:45:03.476Z : Incoming msg: [ 14:45 ] ergo : hh>

Strange because, yesterday it worked, today it doesn't. My Local Time is in sync!

The Dark Reader extension causes the custom toggle switches to disappear, because their background colors are changed to match the page background.

Default:

Dark Reader:

I will try to see if there's a way I can prevent this from happening. As a last resort, I can contribute custom CSS rules to the Dark Reader repo itself, see: https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#fixing-incorrect-inversions
