Show HN: itsAlmo.st

At the Type/Code studio we love counting down to things, whether it is lunchtime, beer time, or Arbor Day. However, we couldn’t find a countdown tool that was both attractive and easy to share with friends. So, in some free time this past week we built a little web application to solve our frivolous problem, dubbed itsAlmo.st.

It’s dead simple: just give your countdown a name and a time, and let it begin. Every countdown has its own spiffy URL for as long as it’s running (like itsAlmo.st/#BeerTime), so you can share it with friends and post it to Facebook or Twitter.

We hope you get a kick out of this little utility and find it as handy as we do.
