-A Rust crate for parsing human-readable relative time strings and converting them to a `Duration`.
+A Rust crate for parsing human-readable relative time strings and converting them to a `Duration`, or parsing human-readable datetime strings and converting them to a `DateTime`.
 
 ## Features
 
-- Parses a variety of human-readable time formats.
+- Parses a variety of human-readable and standard time formats.
 - Supports positive and negative durations.
 - Allows for chaining time units (e.g., "1 hour 2 minutes" or "2 days and 2 hours").
 - Calculate durations relative to a specified date.
