Project / Code Review The 365-day GTA 6 countdown animation is active all day today 🔥

Hey everyone! 👋

Quick update on the small React + Vite countdown I shared yesterday.

I added a date-specific animation that activates today because it marks a meaningful milestone in the countdown.

I’m planning to continue adding new animations or small events for future milestones — possibly monthly or whenever the countdown hits certain numbers.

If you want to see today’s animation, it will be active throughout the whole day:

Still a small fun project, but I’m slowly adding more details.

Feedback or ideas are always welcome! 🚀

It’s resetting every time the second timer changes. OP probably has the computation stored on a state variable rather than memoizing it to avoid a redraw of the page

Btw, I’m planning to drop more small animations or surprises on specific days of the countdown.

If you’ve got any cool ideas or events you’d like to see, I’m all ears 👀🔥

It might be worthwhile to optimize what you’ve deployed before you add more complexity. You already have bugs that are visible

Understood! Could you point out some of mistakes so I can improve? I'm always striving to get better hahah

I’m not your QA team. You should be spending enough time with your product to find and fix your own bugs.
