Fix date time math comparison

[qwo]

This breaks every time daytime changes.

see https://github.com/Code4HR/hrt-bus-text-my-bus/blob/master/app.js#L116-119 for where a refactor could be useful.

I hacked together the date time parsing and diffing because Moment nor DateString was not working.

Looking at this right now, what time format does the HRT bus API send out? UTC? Which time zone?

[qwo]

see the api. http://api.hrtb.us/api/stop_times/8004/ Looks like UTC GMT

It breaks every time daytime changes? Do you mean when it switches from day to day?

[qwo]

It breaks conditionally annually(?) ex: when it was date light savings time the app was off by a hour.

theres an issue with momentum handling the date times from hrtb.us and i manually parse the times from GMT to EST by manually subtracting 4-5 hours. (240-300 minutes).

this is really brittle and could be improved if momentum was utilized correctly to parse the date response from the server and then used the date.diff function in momentum for date comparisons.
