Countdown Extension now Open Source

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 some documentation on your changes so that I can update the blog page to reflect latest version, any changes will be attributed with your name. Please also ensure that you are committing changes to the main repository and not creating a branch so that we can keep things consistent for everyone.

For anyone interested in learning extension development I have created a series of tutorials on this blog which you may read at your leisure.

Take a look at the code behind the countdown extension at the GitHub link above.
