Start a timer via the url

Am I misunderstanding something? I tried starting it thusly: http://alrt.io/3%20hours%2022%20minutes Is the point not that it can handle a variety of input?

There's a clear bug in the parser. If you change 'minutes' with 'seconds', it works.

Sloppy programming :/

I've been using http://e.ggtimer.com/ for a while, seems a bit more comprehensive.

Yes, its the same principle, but tested for years. They also have a non-flash ("mobile") version: e.ggtimer.com/m/5minutes

If you change "minutes" to "minute", it seems to work.

thx to this comment, i created now a fluid-app for me with eggtimer.com! there is always a time when u need one (and ur too lazy to ask siri to do it ;) )

but now i would love to have a option on fluid, that ask me for parameter when it starts, so i can set the timeframe when i start the "app"

I think it needs to be able to flash the favicon, when you have several tabs open, you can't see the title change.
