#12One tiny suggestion - use "font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums;" in the styling. It'll stop the UI moving around when there's a number that starts with 1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-varian...

#13I like it. I would prefer if your play the chime demo counted upwards instead of being rng each time you click, but that's just a tiny nitpick.

I definitely considered that. Then I realized that I would also need to not let the numbers get too large and/or reset them at some point, so I just shipped it.
I may still do this, as it's definitely more accurate that way in terms of representing how it actually works!

#15This is great marketing, nice job. Have you ever read Traction[0]? They call this engineering-as-marketing[1]. I built an open-source version[3] of Baremetrics when I was working on a loan marketplace for SaaS companies[4]. It did ok! I'd consider open-sourcing the tool since it's not your main business.
