A chrome extension for setting countdown timer for events and showing the timers in newtab page. Using this, users should be able to manually input event dates.
I needed a countdown timer for events to remind me about upcoming events i.e. Assignment Deadlines, Birthdays etc. Some might argue a installing a mobile app would have been easier, but I spend most of my awake time on my laptop using browser and other applications rather than on mobile. So building a browser extension was the more suitable solution for my need. Moreover, I wanted to brush up my JS knowledge. 😄
Go to releases page and download the latest release in either zip or gzipped format. Next, extract it in a directory. Then start Chrome browser and go to extensions page. Select Developer Mode and then click on Load unpacked extension.... When directory chooser dialog appears, choose the directory where you cloned the repository. That's it!
