Hello.

Here's a excerpt of a project object returned by the API:

{
  "url": "https://github.com/covid19india/covid19india-react",
  "websiteUrl": "https://www.covid19india.org",

  "lastUpdate": 1607332409,
  "lastCommitTime": "2020-11-22 05:54:08 +0000 UTC",
}

The date format of the lastCommitTime field is not ISO8601, which results in Date.parse always returning NaN on Firefox, which in turn displays Never on the UI.

What about using a timestamp like in the lastUpdate field to avoid any trouble?

Thanks
