It would be cool if it showed me how many years I have left (based on average life expectancy.) Would be a bit depressing though.

It seems to operate off of a unix timestamp and doesn't mind future values, so throw the unix timestamp of your expected death-date in there and watch it count down :)

This is me: http://justanumber.co/?ts=2936995200

(using death-clock.org to get the end-date)

Going off that. It would be pretty cool if there was an app that showed your average death-date but also connected to multiple platforms to show extensions in your death date. Hey you got your resting heart rate down X, ran Y miles last month and had cholesterol drop Z, you extended your life an estimated ~1.5 years!

This has been a chrome plugin for years already. It's called motivation: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/motivation/ofdgfpc... Edit: I see it's mentioned when you click about :)

Yep, that was the motivation =). Although i did write my own function to calculate the number of years, so that i would take into account leap years. Surprisingly, not many solutions exist for that...
