Dear Thunkable Blocks readers,

I am now announcing that my countdown extension is now open source code, this is similar to my WebViewTools extension, extension developers may now view the code behind the extension and submit commits through GitHub if they would like to submit changes for updates to extend the functionality of the extension.

The countdown tools extension was designed to create easy access to date conversion and the ability to create a timer that could trigger events after a certain amount of time has passed. You can find the full documentation for the countdown extension at https://thunkableblocks.blogspot.com/2017/05/countdown-extension.html

For those interested in taking a look at the code for the countdown extension you can find the repository at the following link https://github.com/lukegackle/Countdown-Extension---App-Inventor

I have also created a contact page form that developers can submit, for developers seeking to make updates to my extensions please provide…
