Javascript: Back to the Timer

01/11/15

So, I haven't worked on the timer for about a week now. The last thing I managed to commit was a youtube video popping up when the timer expires.

It's not something I've pulled into this website's timer yet, though, because I want better youtube functionality before I switch from the perfectly functional public-domain song playing setup.

As far as youtube functionality goes:

• Need an input box that takes a Youtube url
  • Let user set alarm they desire
• Use the official, flash-required Youtube API
  • Finding the link just now alerted me to the no-flash-required iframe Youtube API
• Maybe minor Youtube search functionality in the timer itself?

Some things to do to improve the code of the timer app:

• Improve timer expiration naming convention for code readability
  • Right now, it is named after the song that plays
• Run the code through JSLint and iterate

I think I'll focus on improving the code before continuing development on the youtube setup.
