Overview

TimeTick is a real-time visualization of time ticking away. A modern memento mori, right in your browser.

How it was built

Kept pretty close to the HAMYBURGER (my 2023 tech stack). Tried out a few new libs / methods but 80%+ is ~standard

  • Frontend: SvelteKit - I cloned CloudSeed's frontend, removed the backend / db, and kept all the containerization infra.
  • Visualizations: Pts.js - I've been meaning to play around with this library for awhile and this was a great opportunity to do so. I really like it - very declarative.
  • Hosting: Cloud Run on GCP - Still haven't found a better scale-to-zero serverless container runtime.
