Last week I organized a poker at my place. It was 15 people, it’s been great, and I also managed to get 4th place! The day before I quickly coded a timer for the blinds, to be fullscreened on the TV while playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it’s easy to find on the internet a lot of very complex timers which blinds calculations, I needed something extremely simple that would give us maximum flexibility to control the structure and adjust it along the way. I ended up with a super simple solution that’s basically just a timer: a web app that takes as a parameter the seconds to be awaited, and starts a countdown from there. I added a pause functionality (pressing space or tapping) and that’s it! The cool thing of having the seconds parameter is that you can customize it to any amount but you can also easily prepare some presets links that I put at the bottom of the page! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
