Description
Hello all! Build clean, minimalistic analog clock webpage to Cloudflare Pages.This is for (maybe): - kids to learn - for second monitor - old tabled on shelf - ..Themes and screen wake lock buttons with auto-hide. Goal is to keep it as clean as possible.This possible makes no sense, but for a domain of $10/y this is cheap site for me to keep and see how it lives on.
