I don't see the point of these fake countdown timers, like are they supposed to be funny, seems kinda pointless to me, but hey maybe add some features like real-time sync with events, could be more useful that way, thoughts?

Are people really going to use this, I mean who needs a fake countdown timer seriously, maybe add a feature to make it more useful like syncing it with real-world events or something, what do other users think about really needing this, feels like it's a bit too niche, no?

This might be useful for some, but I can't help feeling it's kinda deceptive, if you're cutting people off for real without them knowing, isn't it better to be upfront rather than trick them? 🤔

Really? A timer that lies? Interesting idea but isn't it just enabling laziness and deceit, what about an option for transparency, maybe letting speakers know how much time they have left privately while the audience sees something different, any plans for adding features to address ethical concerns

Seems like you're aiming for something to mask time in high-stakes settings like pitch sessions, but I'd worry about the ethics a bit, how do you ensure transparency if the timer's fake, also, other tools like Timer+ sort of do the job without the deception element, what’s your take on making it more honest or maybe adding a feature where users are notified in some way of the fakeness?

Saw this on a random ad, tbh I'm not sure if tricking people with a fake timer is the best way to manage time, but I guess it could be fun in the right context, any plans for a version that can sync with real-time events or maybe add a feature where it can revert to true time at the end?

What a clever idea! Faketimer sounds like a great way to keep sessions on track without being too harsh. Looking forward to trying it out🙌
