talk-timer

A command line countdown timer for talks.


talk-timer is a simple command line countdown timer. It simply displays a countdown in your terminal in blocks of 10 seconds, until the final 10 seconds, which counts down by seconds. Then, it flashes red when hitting 0.

I find this useful to set a timer, then magnify (zoom in) on my terminal and have my laptop facing a speaker in a conference to provide them a subtle indicator of how much time they have remaining.

This is essentially a toy, written to explore typestates in Rust.
