About this countdown
12 AM is the same moment as midnight: the start of the day. If you have seen the two confused, this page settles it while showing you how much time is left until it.
The countdown is the same as the rest of the site, so it works on a projector, on a phone, with themes, with a bell at zero and with a link you can share.
