Standalone full screen timer #6

Closed hadley closed 5 years ago

hadley commented 5 years ago

It would be really useful to have a full screen timer (i.e. with the font automatically sized to be as big as possible) without using xaringan, or other presentation format.

Thanks for the suggestions! This should be relatively easy to work out within the package. I think I'll add a new function countdown_fullscreen() that wraps countdown() and adds a bit of additional CSS.

For my reference, this seems to achieve the desired effect:

countdown(
  bottom = 0, top = 0, left = 0, right = 0, 
  padding = "0", margin = "2%", 
  font_size = "20vw"
)

with the additional css

.countdown {
  line-height: 96vh;
}
.countdown code {
  vertical-align: middle;
}

@hadley I threw together a small shiny app for this use case that also demos full-screen timers (#8) and a warning state (#7). I thought I would share in case it's helpful to you.

I think the app would be a little easier to use with numericInput() rather than sliderInput(), or maybe even use textInput() and then parse mm:ss?

gadenbuie commented 5 years ago

Great idea, thanks. I went with textInput() and I definitely find the interface easier to use. https://gadenbuie.shinyapps.io/countdown/

Looks great! It would be great if you could include it as an exported function so it was even easier to use from the package.

Thanks again @hadley for the suggestions! I added countdown_app() for launching the shiny app and I re-themed the app using dark colors to better match light levels in a variety of presentation settings.
