As someone who’s never been a huge fan of React, I found myself diving headfirst into building TimeMomo - a real-time collaborative timer platform.

TimeMomo is designed for presenters, streamers, and event managers who need to share timers with audiences in real-time, without the complexity of traditional WebSocket implementations. ...

In today’s world everyone learns from each other and adapts rather quickly - so that scenario is not likely to play out. ...
