Show HN: Your precise age updated live
justanumber.coThis has been a chrome plugin for years already. It's called motivation: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/motivation/ofdgfpc...
Edit: I see it's mentioned when you click about :)
Yep, that was the motivation =). Although i did write my own function to calculate the number of years, so that i would take into account leap years. Surprisingly, not many solutions exist for that...
It would be cool if it showed me how many years I have left (based on average life expectancy.) Would be a bit depressing though.
Going off that. It would be pretty cool if there was an app that showed your average death-date but also connected to multiple platforms to show extensions in your death date. Hey you got your resting heart rate down X, ran Y miles last month and had cholesterol drop Z, you extended your life an estimated ~1.5 years!
It seems to operate off of a unix timestamp and doesn't mind future values, so throw the unix timestamp of your expected death-date in there and watch it count down :)
This is me: http://justanumber.co/?ts=2936995200
(using death-clock.org to get the end-date)
Have tried similar, and included a widget on my phone's home screen. Moved too slowly to be motivating/demotivating, though could be interesting longer-term.
If you guys are interested seeing this update every day, there is a nifty Chrome extension for it.

If we're trying to be precise, why not also enter the time at which we were born?
Indeed. And the timezone or location. And maybe break it out into seconds as well.
I thought about that, but in the end decided to go for simplicity.
You need two locations; place of birth and current location.
looks like its not so precise
It is, it's just not accurate.
It takes a lot to load, but I like it.
