Showing "time ago" by fetching uploaded date/time

and i have did that without that extension too, by converting time instant to millis and then use math components to - that values , like time posted(converted to millis) - time now(converted to millis)

Why do you need an extension to do a simple math subtraction?
You only need to know the milliseconds of the instant the post was posted and the milliseconds of the current instant. Subtract the first from the second and there! You have how much time passed in milliseconds. Then check if that number is greater than 86400000, then it means days, if not divide it by 3600000 for hours, if not use 60000 for minutes, etc.
Then format it any way you want.

What is the date you provided as input?

opps, i was using time picker to select time, its only giving time instant, i think its happening because of no date in this instant.

you can use like this,

blocks - 2019-12-09T101332.450

but for store time in airtable you have to store time of post with,

component_method (10)
