 # Description
-I got sick of giving lectures in rooms with a clock that is either non-functional or several minutes fast/slow.  What happened to all the old militant academics who would throw tantrams at the building supervisors if there was a bad clock in a room?
+I got sick of giving lectures in rooms with a clock that is either non-functional, several minutes fast/slow, or in a stupid location when the lecturer can't see it.  What happened to all the old militant academics who would throw tantrums at the building managers if there was a bad clock in a room?

 My requirements:
-* A simple fullscreen display with only a minute countdown, progress indicator, and correct time.
-* High-contrast white on black always-on display so I can see things with a dimmed screen.

 * Time-oriented since I want to be able to pick the end time rather than a duration.
-* Some kind of obvious indication when time is up.

 A quick survey of the app store showed that most apps in this category:
 * Were butt fugly.
-* Were ridden with ads.
+* Were riddled with ads.
 * Wanted more permissions than I was willing to give a timer app.
 * Were built for some specific purpose with mandatory breaks in the middle (WTH is pomodoro?).
 * Were in many cases not time-oriented.

 It will count down the minutes until the end time.  The screen will stay awake for the entire time that the timer is visible.  At 2 minutes out it will switch to minutes and seconds.  At the end time the screen goes red, and it will start counting up so you know how much over time you are.
 
-To get out of the timer screen, swipe down from the top of the screen to get your navigation buttons back.  I used 'sticky immersive' mode for the timer screen which will automatically hide the navigation buttons after a few seconds.  This saved me from having to write my own fullscreen toggle, but does mean you have to swipe down from the top of the screen to get to the navigation bars which is a bit annoying (particularly if you don't know about it).
