Performance Timer
In public speaking, it’s a good idea to control the time of the speech.
For me, the absence of additional stress is important.
Many timers can be found on the Internet, but all of them contain either milliseconds and seconds, or flashing colons. Some of them are customizable, but I have not yet found a single one as needed. They constantly update the screen picture and make me worried. I want to see only how many minutes have passed, and I will take a look at the device. I also realized that the countdown puts more pressure on me than displaying how much time has passed.
So I want to see how many minutes have passed since the start of the performance
When I did one of my first speeches, I had an Apple phone and I could not find what I wanted. I even bought a couple of timers for performances. But it's not that. I am a web developer and did not want to spend more than half an hour on this tool. It’s easy to make a web page, but it’s not so easy to get the device to not go blank. Well, I wanted it to work without the Internet. Packing in cordova or something similar and publishing to the parties was also not part of my plans (especially with the chance that apple would reject this application).
Then my friend who is developing for ios wrote such an application. Of all the functions there was a start / reset, and a prohibition to turn off the screen during operation. We never published it.
Now I changed the phone to another platform and again I have to speak. And I thought, all that is needed is just to record such a video. And that’s it. This video just shows how many minutes have passed since the start.
Here it is:

There are 130 minutes, this is enough to give a slightly protracted two-hour lecture. Actually, you don’t need to give such lectures, but what if someone needs it?
Hellish over-engineering, but hell, it works, it just works, easier than the application.
On a phone, laptop, tablet, any company, even on a TV.
Yes, I made it in a completely terrible way. I was too lazy to understand video editors, and I just took Open Broadcast Studio and recorded the web page with the built-in tools. I filmed the web page in 5 minutes. Yes, I recorded it for two hours (well, more precisely, it was written in the background itself).
Please forgive me for such a terrible crime against technology. Maybe you should wait until Friday. But now it has become a little easier to speak and worry less.
