Add chains of timers and scheduled runs that users asked for

What they did

Beyond a single countdown, added series of countdowns to program a whole show (opening, keynote, Q&A) and auto-advance/scheduled runs requested by gyms/CrossFit (sets and breaks, 20 countdowns daily); required years of handling time zones and daylight-saving bugs.

In their words

Over $10k a month from a timer app

Pete… one. Can you, I think you Yeah. I think you've told us like, I guess you've kind of shared how simple it is cuz it's like, you know, it says you know, you have a screen, the other person has a screen, you can control it, it has a timer, so it says, "Hey, you've got a 30-minute lecture or political speech," or whatever. The person knows how much time they have. In what ways, so I think we've covered the simplicity. In what ways is it complicated?

LukasYeah, so it sounds very simple, and it is in fact, if you just show a countdown, super simple to implement. However, very quickly we got the request, "Hey, I want to kind of program my show in your tool, right? I don't want to just put one countdown, I want to put a series of countdowns, cuz I know like that my opening, you know, is like 5 minutes, and then I have like a keynote address, and then I have a Q&A session, and so on and so forth. And I want to kind of build this in your tool and then one by one, just be able to start these countdowns." And, you know, eventually, it grew it grew further that you can say, you know, once the once one countdown stops, it don't automatically goes to the next one, because we have a quite a number of gyms and like CrossFit stuff where where people have like these sets and they want to, you know, they have like the the set, the break, the set, the break.
