Contributions summary:Shantanu implemented a feature to display the time instead of the date when the date is the current date. Their work involved modifying the `app.js` file to include a function that checks and formats the date and time accordingly, and updating files in the `core/templates/dev/head/editor/` directory to use the new formatting function. They also renamed a factory and related methods within the codebase, indicating a refactor to improve code readability and maintainability. The user's changes directly modified core UI elements.
