Details
The user, who uses Claude AI for journaling, noticed that the assistant would frequently comment on events as if they were happening in the past, even if the journal entry was written in the present. To address this issue, the user created a simple Chrome extension that adds a timestamp button. Clicking the button inserts the current date and time, formatted as '[Dec 20, 2024, 03:47:15 AM]', into the user's journal entries. This helps the user keep track of when they actually wrote something, especially since their journal entries can span different hours. The extension has no additional permissions and only adds the timestamp functionality, making it a straightforward solution to the time-related problems the user encountered with Claude AI.
