Whether it’s quitting time at your job or the remains of the 15 minutes you gave yourself to clean your inbox, it’s handy knowing how much time you’ve got left. This minimalist URL-based web timer provides exactly that service.The page at
cd.justinjc.com, cobbled together by an unknown coder, watches for the text you put after its root domain. Enter cd.justinjc.com/5p, and you’ll get a countdown timer to 5 p.m. in your current time zone, with a progress bar and percentage count shown on the page. You can also enter specific timer counts, like cd.justinjc.com/3h15m30s for a count of three hours, 15 minutes, and 30 seconds. For a raw minute count, just enter cd.justinjc.com/80. The live count is also kept in the page’s title, visible in your browser tabs.
There might be 300 JavaScript countdown timers out there, but this one just happened to catch our eye for its convenience and adaptability.
