What it does - Create a countdown by target date/time or duration, then get a short public URL + embed code. - Share instantly on socials or embed into any site — no signup required. - Lightweight tool, real-time sync across viewers, mobile-friendly and focused on zero friction.
Why I built it I wanted a fast way to make promotional timers, social share timers, event timers — without logins, bloated JS, or heavy setup. So I built a tool that’s focused, free forever, and easy to embed.
Tech & constraints - Built with Next.js + Firebase Realtime Database (for sync) + simple embed iframe/JS widget. - No user accounts: generate timer → share it → optional deletion. - Embed code is small, responsive, and works across devices.
What I want from HN - Honest feedback on the UX, embed approach, and privacy/usage model. - Thoughts on growth: where would you list a tool like this or how would you promote it? - Bugs or features missing you’d expect (e.g., private timers, analytics, custom domains).
Thanks — I’ll be around to answer questions and fix anything broken.
