PrettyTime won't help here...

@melloware I don't remember where but I discussed this with @FroMage and @mkouba and there is something done in Renarde that we could move to Qute Web

But those are like PrettyTime they are time "since" like "8 minutes ago" when we need "1 minute" or "4 minutes" to read an article. All those are based on calculating from a point in time.

How do you estimate/determine the value for "1 minute" or "4 minutes"? Is it a duration or what exactly?

[melloware]

its magic...

public static Object readTime(Page page) {
        final long count = numberOfWords(page.rawContent());
        return Math.round((float) count / 200);
    }

This is an average formula based on word counts you can find more info on google.

[mkouba]

I see. But then you don't need any library, right?

@TemplateExtension
public static String minutesRead(int minutes) {
   return minutes <= 1 ? "1 minute" : (minutes + " minutes");
}

And in the template something like {page.readTime.minutesRead}?

Yep let me submit a PR

Ahhh its in the UI code because of IL8N being able to customize it per language. I don't want to hard code "minute" in the template extension.
