Hey, cool, I wanted to do the exact same thing the other day but as a countdown clock. For those saying this has no practical use, a countdown definitely does :)

Gifs render in email, so you could put a countdown there, for one example

For a countdown, you don't need to stream it, just generate animated countdown gif.

I think they meant "count down to moment X, when something special is scheduled to take place" rather than "count down from 100".

Makes sense. I thought of "This email autodestructs in 10... 9" style countdown.
