Ok I'll admit, I got about 3/4 through the content with a lot of tapping before I gave up and did view source. But it made me laugh!

This is great! Reminds me of those websites people would make a decade or two ago that would spam you with nonstop alert() boxes saying ridiculous things. Fortunately this is a lot easier to take a break from. Congrats on your first React project!

Thanks very much :)

I just wanted to make something simple-yet-effective. The code could have been better but it was definitely an eye opener, particularly coming from an Angular background.

Maybe I was just looking for a fun distraction, but I thought this was awesome. Clever. Funny. People overuse LOL, but I literally LOL'd at the unexpected countdown. Good stuff.
