I agree to an extent but as I said in the section on practical applications it is the only way you could do a countdown timer in emails.

For websites the effort is the least of your worries as the countdown timer weighs in at 4mb for each 1 minute countdown!

Plus the idea is you learn how to write text dynamically to an image - I might put something at the start to explain this to people to avoid confusion! ❀️

Added a disclaimer to the beginning and even changed the title slightly to explain the use case, thanks for pointing out that as I don't want people adding this to their website!! 🀣🀣
