Roam ShowTime

Show block creation & edit times on RoamResearch.com
What is Roam ShowTime?
Roam ShowTime is a Chrome extension that allows users to easily view block creation and edit times on RoamResearch.com. By toggling the time display, users can see the first time a block was created and the time of its last edit. The extension also handles cases where the creation time and edit time are the same, and displays the full date for times more than 24 hours in the past. However, please note that the extension may experience slower response times when loading a large number of blocks on the page. For more information and access to the source code, visit the GitHub repository at https://github.com/tfiers/RoamShowTime.

Extension summary

⚠ Another Roam update broke this plugin. I have no plans to update this plugin further. PRs are welcome on GitHub.

  • Toggle the time display using ctrl-c ctrl-s.
  • The first time is the creation time, the second the time of last edit.
  • If those are the same (ignoring seconds), only one is displayed
  • For times more than 24 hours in the past, the full date is displayed.

When a lot of blocks are loaded on the page, the app will start to respond slowly. Toggling off the time display while you are interacting with blocks will then help.
