Enhance Countdown to include "count up" functionality
Open, WishlistPublic

Description

I'd very much like the ability to define a "count up" timer within Countdown that would fill the role of one of those "Days Since Last Accident" workplace signs. I think our developers and my manager would find a "Days Since Last Developer-Induced SNAFU" timer fun and useful. Nobody wants to be the guy/gal that causes a reset, right?

This is pure scope creep, but I've always found Countdown anticlimactic when it reaches 0. I could imagine having this feature:

When the countdown finishes:

  • Do Nothing
  • Play a Sound
  • Link Somewhere
  • Start Counting Up

Then you could create a countdown with a past date and "Start Counting Up" as the completion action. More importantly, countdowns could play music or blow airhorns or whatever when they hit 0.
