Converts a time duration to string. for example: 38 minutes 53 seconds ago OR 2 days 58 minutes ago. maxPrecision is the max number of time components in the result.
func ago(t time.Duration) (o string) {
const day = time.Hour * 24
const week = day * 7
const month = day * 30
const year = day * 365
const maxPrecision = 2
if t.Seconds() < 1 {
return "seconds ago"
}
