Leonardo Devai df19a2bbb9 Review and modernize all 42 projects to the updated standard
Pinned 2026 toolchains (Go 1.26, Rust 1.98/edition 2024, Python 3.14 + uv, Node 24,
Zig 0.16, NixOS 26.05), postgres 18 / mongo 8, lockfiles built from, non-root
runtimes, .dockerignore, per-project LICENSE, READMEs with the git.devai.io clone
line, checkout@v7 CI. Security fixes in the legacy Rust APIs (any-password login,
self-assigned admin, hard-coded JWT secret), JWT alg/exp/sub enforcement across the
blog series, safe markdown links in the frontends, and many smaller bugs — every
project was built, run and exercised end to end.

Adds scripts/publish.sh + a CI publish job that splits every folder into its own
repo at git.devai.io/templates/<folder>.

# countdown-timer
A live countdown to any moment you pick — days, hours, minutes and seconds,
ticking away. It's your first look at doing something on a timer with
`setInterval`, and at doing arithmetic with dates.
## Run
Get it: `git clone https://git.devai.io/templates/countdown-timer.git`
Double-click `index.html` — it opens in your browser and works. Nothing to
install, no build step.
Or serve it like production:
```sh
docker compose up --build
```
Then open http://localhost:8080.
## How it works
`setInterval(tick, 1000)` asks the browser to run `tick()` every second. Each
tick subtracts two dates — `target - new Date()` gives the milliseconds between
them — and splits that gap into days (86,400 seconds), hours (3,600), minutes
and seconds with `Math.floor` and `%` (the remainder).
`setInterval` returns an id; `clearInterval(id)` stops it. The code clears the
old timer before starting a new one whenever you pick a date, and stops the
clock for good when it reaches zero. It counts down to next New Year until you
choose something else.
Try it: count down to your birthday with `new Date("2027-05-01")`, add a
"Reset to New Year" button, or make the seconds pulse by toggling a CSS class
on each tick.
## Layout
```
index.html the date picker and the four number boxes
app.js tick(), start(), and the interval they share
styles.css the look; follows your system's light or dark mode
```
## Deploy
Push to your own GitHub repo and the shipped workflow
(`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) tests the compose stack, publishes the image to
GHCR, and — once you set the `DEPLOY_HOST` / `DEPLOY_USER` variables and
`DEPLOY_KEY` secret — deploys it to your server over ssh.
