    Yes, a clock could work. Ideally though I need some way of showing that I'm better than others, and it's not enough that I am able to spot green borders better than you and Nick.

    Same!

    In fact, I noticed it coming and going as I moved stuff around but didn't realise what it denoted, which is perhaps worse

    Other than that, a nice bit of distraction while I let my morning coffee set in.

    Superb! That's getting bookmarked then.

    I currently enjoy doing DayBrix on https://vole.wtf/daybrix/ although you can cheat that by clearing the vole.wtf cookie if you fluff it up and don't mind losing your streak history.
