A marriage clock tracking the years, days, minutes, and seconds that my parents have been married to each other. V2 allows you to input your own dates!

To be honest I did not expect it to take this long to add a little bar that can take an input. But I guess it is how it is.
Even without the features, v2 is already turning out to be smoother, cleaner, more functional, and more responsive. I thank you reviewers for the nice detailed reviews you have given, it really helps me see my project from a different perspective. And I really do value it, which is why I am fulfilling every single suggestion.
Stay tuned for the final result tomorrow. Imma go enjoy a nice (sarcasm) 7 hours of sleep now (ugh gotta get up for practice tomorrow).

Hey yall,
So after my first ship, a lot of people didn’t see much usability in it other than it being a gift for my parents.
So… I couldn’t resist taking like an hour or so to create a v2 for this. So here’s the plan:
The background will be a more generic one, and you will be able to input your own parents’ marriage date and time to see how long they’ve been married.
You will be able to swipe through the minutes, hours, seconds, etc. Instead of an animation playing.
Excited to bring these suggestions to life! So stay up to date!

I created a marriage clock tracking the exact time my parents have been married to each other. The public version uses a random fixed time rather than the actual time for privacy reasons. The most challenging part was wrestling with CSS layout systems like CSS grid and CSS flexbox since it’s been months since I last worked with them and they just have tricky behaviors. The second challenging part was working on this while avoiding my parents to keep it as a surprise. My first drafts of anything In this project looked absolutely hideous (as expected), so I had to make a lot of minor tweaks and adjustments to get it as responsive and aesthetic as I can. But after all that, the end result was 200% worth it. I showed it to my parents and they were happy and it was a pretty nice moment. How to test my project: click the link, mess around with the arrows, and observe the magic!

And just letting you all know, the one I showed my parents is unblurred and uses the real unix time they were married. The public one contains no personal information and is not the real time they were married for.
Sorry for lying last devlog saying it’ll be my last. But I gotta claim my 21 mins before I ship this.
As I have said in my previous log, I enjoyed making this project in the last few days and I am proud of this. When I showed my parents they really liked it and it was a nice moment.
Happy wedding anniversary to my parents.

Hi everyone. If you read my last devlog you may know me as the idiot with the duck background. But I’m glad to announce that the ducks will soon be retiring as they have served their purpose.
So this is a marriage clock, tracking the hours minutes seconds days years etc. that my parent’s have been married. And tomorrow’s their anniversary so I plan to surprise them and show it to them :).
Since I have such little work to do, this will be my last devlog for this project. And I may not have been able to add every feature I wanted to like I envisioned and listed in my previous devlog, I’m glad how it turned out for the time I spent on it and I like how it is simple and also purposeful. Overall, I’m proud of how it turned out.

So what I have here is a little surprise I’m preparing for my parents’ wedding anniversary. The end result–how I envision it–has a clock on the first container counting the time they’ve been married, and on the second container, it’ll have a little note and/or some kind words. Super excited to present it to them–not excited that I have to finish it by the end of tomorrow. Kinda busy tomorrow so we’ll see if I can get it done 🤞🤞.
I know what you’re thinking: “This guy is an absolute fool for putting a picture of ducks on an anniversary gift.” Well, shame on you (in a friendly way)!
The ducks are actually a temporary background so I don’t get caught in the act of creating this by my parents when they walk by (and it indeed was a good decision because it has already saved me once).
For curious souls who want to know how the interaction went:
Dad: What’s that
Me: Umm its a duck thing
Dad: what does it do
Me: So uhh… so like you press the button and then… it tell you like how they quack. So for example these ducks quack like “fdsafas” and when you press the button now they quack like… like… that.
So yea! Pretty good interaction. Okay anyways back to devlog stuff->
