I like it! I think the progress indicator in the title needs some rounding love, however: document.title = (100 * time / totaltime).toFixed(1) + "%";

Agreed. You might want to round() first, though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1726630/javascript-format...

Thank you all of HN.

It's a nice timer, but this recent casualization of the word 'fuck' is irritating, and I don't care to support it. It was in a ton of the blog headlines posted on this very site last year, and all it does is detract from the power of the word, while doing nothing to add an edge to your project. Sorry. Nice timer, though. Find a real way to motivate the user without abuse and it'd be even cooler.

Oh no. People are swearing!

Woman, cover your ankles, you're inflaming my sexual ardour!

This is great on so many levels :-) simple, focused and very nice design, I love it.

Cool! If people use this, we have a v2 which has some geeky 8-bit stuff.

Looking forward to it. When you read "only 12 minutes left" does not seem as dangerous as "the most significant bit in the counter integer, just flipped from 1 to 0"

Feature Request: Allow the use of a hashmark (or a different method) to pre-fill the user input, and auto-start the timer. Then you could send it to people who you want to get stuff done.

Definitely implement this. And add email notifications when the URL is clicked AND when the timer runs out.

This sounds like a great idea!

How do you think we should allow users to input their e-mail addresses w/o cluttering too much of the page?

(p/s: I'm one of the developers working on this)

It seems that some people want less profanity and some want more. It might be useful to let all the text on the page be user-editable. That way they can choose the exact phrase that would have the desired emotional impact on them (and anyway, why tight-couple the tech and the copy?)

For instance, my first language is Hindi, and English four-letter words just sort of slide over me without making much of a dent. I had to 'inspect element' on the h1.tagline containing 'Just F* Do It Now' and change that to something in Hindi before it really made sense. Good job, by the way.
