I started with absolute dates, but my primary use-case is “How much time do I have?”, for which relative dates work better.

I’ll see if I can do better.

It can be done as

   1 year 7 days (2020-06-03)
or

   2020-06-03 (1 year 7 days)
If/when you do absolute days, don’t use US format :) (I don’t know hiw it is right now, can’t hiver on mobile)
Or write out months to make clear which format it is (03 June 2020). That way it's clear for everyone which format was used
It is YYYY-MM-DD
The best and the only true format :)
