At this point it'd be worth creating an old-school webring [1] for all the HN clock enthusiasts. :)<p>The clock at: <a href="https://clocks.dev/clock/lock-screen" rel="nofollow">https://clocks.dev/clock/lock-screen</a><p>is kind of similar to one of my clocks: the Filling Digit clock [2], which fills the hollow digits with water from the bottom up to represent the seconds in a minute:<p>Another one that made the rounds here on HN was "Alphabetical Clock" [3] which is pretty amusing.<p>[1] - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring</a><p>[2] - <a href="https://clocks.specr.net/filling-digits" rel="nofollow">https://clocks.specr.net/filling-digits</a><p>[3] - <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47571401">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47571401</a>
I'd really like an analog watch face for the lock screen of my iPhone.
"Number field" felt like the best spacial representation of a numeric clock (would need to be 24h to be perfect but that's a small tweak)<p>There are plenty of them in a more linear style, but the 12 columns design really works well IMHO. It's really easy to roughly guess the time at a glance.<p><a href="https://clocks.dev/clock/number-field" rel="nofollow">https://clocks.dev/clock/number-field</a>
What would be the best device to put any of these ones over the desk? And old phone? Maybe an esp32?
It might not be for everyone, but sticking ones active phone on a qi2/magsafe stand is great IMHO.<p>Time and notifications are on one place, so they're only noticed when you're trying to plan or organize your work. Switching to timer mode is seamless.<p>The desk is also less cluttered thanks to the verticality of it, and the phone stays visible from afar when taking small breaks, so you don't mind leaving it there.
I've seen and used some variations of these in my Pebble watch.<p>They're cool for one day or two. But, in the end, I will always go back to some boring but more information-dense one (with battery charge, weather, heart rate, steps, etc).
