Three examples of single line functions to create tiny timestamps, tiny unique IDs, and parse dates from them.

tiny-timestamp.ts

//This is a few lines of code that produces a base36 timestamp
function mkTt() { return new Date().getTime().toString(36)}

//len is any number between 0 and 10
function mkId(len=3){ return new Date().getTime().toString(36)+"."+Math.random().toString(36).slice(13-len).padStart(len,"0") }

//this will pull the date portion of the mkId and will parse the mkTt
function parseDate(tinyId){new Date(parseInt(tinyId.split(".")[0],36))}
