[fega]

to avoid printing "~" in te beginning when you dont want it.

what do you think? I can send a PR.

[jimutt]

This would be a much appreciated feature

[milesj]

prettyMs(time).replace('~', '')?

[jimutt]

@milesj Of course, that's what I'm doing, but it it feels like something that could fit as an option though.

[sindresorhus]

I don't think it's should be a separate option, since it only applies to the compact option. And noTilde is a bad option name as it's a double-negative.

I'm just wondering whether we should either remove the tilde by default or change the compact option to also accept: {compact: 'no-tilde'}.

[fega]

@sindresorhus I like the idea of remove the tilde.

[jimutt]

Yes, removed by default seems most reasonable to me. I'd rather let the user add it manually if needed. I can think of many contexts where an automatically added tilde is unwanted/makes little sense formatting wise. But if you'd like to keep the funcitonality whithin the library I personally think that it'd be more suitable as an opt-in, through the options object, rather than opt-out. Though that would mean a major version bump, so perhaps {compact: 'no-tilde'} is a better alternative if you want to avoid that.

[sindresorhus]

Alright. Let's just remove if. If someone complains we can consider adding a no-tilde option value.
