#4I like this a lot. Does anyone here have experience using Patreon for supporting this kind of work? Seems like a natural fit for a digital artist.

#6I love these! I’ve seen them referred to as “hand in hand” clocks and there are a handful of physical manifestations that you can 3d print or make yourself

Super cool, any pictures? I think the minute/second hands would probably be too hard to reliably see, but this would be a really unique looking watch.

#8This made me smile :). What a fun clock.
Given CSS animations coupled with the new CSS trigonometric functions... this should be doable in pure CSS, minus the initial injection of the current seconds into a CSS variable on page load. There is no reason to do it in CSS, it just sounds like a fun weekend project (unless someone beats me to it, in which case a fun weekday project!)

#9I love it, I was about to complain that all it needs is a 24 hour mode. But it has one.
Very nice.

#10Neat!
It reminds me a little of a screen saver called Fractal Clock that I wrote many years ago for MacOS X: https://www.dqd.com/programs/FractalClock/
Sadly, the screen saver stopped working as of (I think) Catalina and I have never gotten around to fixing it. But someone else wrote a very clever web version which you can see here: https://cakenggt.github.io/web-fractal-clock/ and the source repo is here: https://github.com/cakenggt/web-fractal-clock
