What website did you get your imagery from? I’ve seen it before but I’ve lost the link!

Cool site too, bookmarked :)

Cool idea love the simple UI.

Couple of notes:

- The date picker is not super keyboard friendly, let me type to go faster than a select.

- You can save the event on some basic server and generate a uuid to share/edit them, that way i can link to my countdown.

The fact that it has the mm/dd/yyyy format makes me dislike the website

I fully understand this - localisation is on it's way.

Thanks for you feedback - I assumed date picker will be easier for user. Interesting to hear the other way around would be better.

When it comes to persistency - maybe I will add it some point, but no plans at this point

OK.. so give it a second try ;) formatting is now based on detected browser locale.

Thanks!

But it still shows the date as mm/dd/yyyy format on the top right of the event box.

BTW you dont need momentjs, you can use Intl.DateTimeFormat https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Referen...
