is it possible to make a countdown to a specific date?  
i don’t need to it to live update nessesarraly (it would be nice thought) but I just need it to show an amount of time left to the event.  
The app I need it for is a public one, so users don’t need to sign up, which I have found annoying when trying to come up with a solution to this task.

You’ll probably get the best results using a custom AI component and passing in the final date.

Oh ye…  
I just remembered I made a whole app a while ago that did exactly that with the AI component 🤦 😅  
thanks for jogging my memory 😅👍
