Oh man, making a 7-segment display was my favorite question to ask frontend developers. Eventually turning it into a real clock if they were fast enough. Captures lots of basic CSS positioning, JS timers behavior and general ideas like breaking things into components etc

I've been looking for something exactly like this, actually! I'm making a hardware device that is a habit tracker, and the screen will be a few 7 segment displays. Being able to simulate the displays like this is very nice. Also very cool that it displays whatever you type in!

I'm guessing when you say "ask frontend developers" you mean "at job interviews". But I like to think you mean something like "at cocktail parties" or other social situations.

I'm choosing to imagine a bomb-defusal movie scene, where the protagonist must correct the layout of the countdown timer to save the day.
