Does anybody know if there is a hourglass simulator for #Android? Or should I build a webapp for it myself?

[oblomov@sociale.network]

I'll have to build my own, apparently.

@oblomov è vecchissima ma su Android 15 funziona

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@uz oh interessante ora vedo, ma per qualche motivo Google Play Protect la considera pericolosa.

A proposito, permette di “girare la clessidra”?

[uz@snowfan.masto.host]

@oblomov è pericolosa perché non progettata per Android recenti. La clessidra gira, la sabbia no scorre però 😁

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@uz ah ok 8-D

L'ho provata, ma girare la clessidra non “inverte” il tempo, che è quello che serve a me. Mannaggia.

So, I built my own #hourglass “web app” because I couldn't find a decent one.

There's presently only a small aesthetic bug because of the way I'm realizing the “hourglass” figure via pure #CSS, but that's something I will fix after coming back from the rally against the Gaza genocide we're having here in Italy.

I have now reached a sufficiently good point in my #hourglass “web app” development. You can check it out here:

If I did things right, it might even be installable “on your desktop”.

I don't know if anybody else needs something like this in their life, but do let me know if you happen to find it useful.

I think my next improvement will be to add audio to it. I'm thinking single beeps for the last 10 seconds and then a truck horn when the time runs out.

Something like this:

@oblomov It seems too fast on both my pc and my phone. The 180s timer took around 20 seconds to end.

It reminded of the time I broke every record I made on Moto Racer after changing the screen resolution 😁

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@sparkit it is too fast. I'm trying to understand why. It's unexpected because I'm firing JS setTimeout()s every 40ms and subtracting that from the timer, and it's known that setTimeout() can fire *later*, so either I'm doing something very wrong in the JS or the timer is firing too often. I probably should rely on some smarter (and more accurate) timing system.

@sparkit found the bug 8-D

[uz@snowfan.masto.host]

@oblomov è molto carina, complimenti! Non riesci a disegnare i contorni della clessidra? Se ne può fare certamente a meno ma sarebbe ancora più realistica

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@uz ho messo un bell'highlight rosso, va bene cosí? 8-D
