##### motivation

- *Every day should have all the times-of-day* (except where timezone changes apply)

- The `Time` type from Dates supports nanoseconds when dates are not used.

- `Time` works incompletely with`DateTime` which is limited to milliseconds.

- We need date-and-time together, fully resolved, accurate and precise.

  - `NanoDate` is familiar and effective

    -  works well with Dates

    -  uses `DateTime` methods

- This package is a redesign of `TimesDates`

  - `TimesDates` is widely used and well-liked

    - offers nanoseond resolved dates       (as do we)

    - offers nanosecond accurate time zones (we do not)

- Latest

  - performant NanoDate ranges with steps that are simple or compound periods

    - much faster than Dates with compound period stepsizes

  - bugfix (parsing some subsecond layouts)

    

- Contributors are welcome

  -  clear code, robust performance, reliable interoperability

  -  frendly docs, easily followed, well explained
