[FEATURE] Show "Last Updated" Timestamp on Repository CardsCards #7932

Description

@AbishmaB

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, users cannot easily determine how recently a repository has been updated while browsing the repository cards. To check whether a project is actively maintained, users must open each repository individually. This makes it more time-consuming to identify active projects, especially when browsing a large number of repositories.

Describe the solution you'd like

Display a small "Last Updated" timestamp on each repository card using the repository's existing "updated_at" data from the GitHub API. The timestamp can be shown in a human-readable format such as "Updated 2 days ago" or "Updated on Jul 8, 2026". It should be placed in a consistent location on the card without affecting the existing layout and should be visible on both desktop and mobile devices.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative is to leave the current behavior, where users open each repository on GitHub to check its latest activity. Another option is to display the timestamp only in a detailed repository view instead of on the card. However, showing the information directly on the repository card provides quicker access and helps users compare repositories more efficiently while browsing.
