We needed a simple tool to help parse multiple date formats that came in over a myriad of sources into our central lead processing platform. Datescan was a way for us to recognize and parse the multitude of differing formats with a simple, consistent, and reliable tool.

We're excited to bring Datescan to the public, and hope that more developers come on board and contribute to the project.
