ChatGPT with Date
1. Introduction
Sometimes we want to see the timestamp of messages from ChatGPT, but ChatGPT does not have the feature to display
message timestamps.
This project is developed using Tampermonkey and can be used on browsers that support the Tampermonkey plugin, such as
Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera, to enable the display of timestamps for each message from ChatGPT.
This plugin can not only retrieve historical message timestamps but also obtain the time of new messages in
real-time.
Accessing the Configuration Interface provides a
variety of configuration options.
If you are familiar with the web trifecta (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), you can highly customize the time style.
We will introduce the configurations as shown above and more rules in section two.
2. Detailed Documentation
Please visit the ChatGPT with Date Documentation for detailed
configuration instructions and developer documentation.
3. Feedback
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to raise them
on GitHub Issues
or the Script Feedback Section.
4. Future Plans
- [x] Internationalization: The script supports multiple languages (logs, prompts, etc.).
- [x] Time Formatting Granular Configuration Panel: Optimizing time format customization features, instead of
hard-to-maintain HTML string representations.
- [x] Time Formatting Elements: Support for more time formatting elements, such as weekdays, months (in English), etc.
- [x] Time Formatting Rules: Support for more time formatting rules, such as 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
- [x] Support for Shared Interface: Support for displaying time on the interface of
https://chatgpt.com/share/uuid (
i.e., the shared chat interface).
- [ ] Theme Website: Provide a theme website to showcase user-shared time label themes.
- [x] Reset Script: Due to crashes caused by applying user input locally, a reset script functionality is provided.
- [x] Provide More Lifecycle Hooks and Custom Functions: For example, how time elements can be customized for parsing.
