history
Project history and usage
Countdown is a small Go terminal countdown timer distributed as a command-line utility.
Project history
The public repository was created in 2019 and describes a focused CLI for countdowns, target times, count-up mode, titles, pausing, and optional macOS speech announcements.
Adoption history
The official install instructions name Homebrew, `go install`, and prebuilt GitHub release binaries, which is the typical distribution mix for a compact Go CLI.
How it is used
Users invoke `countdown` with a Go-style duration or a target time, optionally chaining a shell command after completion.
Why package nerds care
Its packaging is intentionally simple: one executable, no documented config file, and release artifacts suitable for Homebrew-style formula maintenance.
Timeline
- 2019: Public GitHub repository created and 1.0.0 release published.
- 2023: 1.5.0 release published.
