FAQs

How does it work?

GIFs, its all about the GIFs.

What happens when the timer reaches the end?

It's just a GIF so it will restart.

Can I choose an arbitrary time?

Not currently. But I may add that in the future.

I don't get it, are you serious?

My brain was when it came up with the idea at 2am. Just a fun little hack really.

Have you actually been asked any of these questions?

Not yet. Happy to answer any real questions on twitter though @harveytoro.
