Hey, guys, would you like to install a clock app and set it up as your phone or computer's screen saver? Our team is working on optimizing our upcoming flip clock application (called "FlipClocker"). So far we haven't posted this new project on Product Hunt. I am here to get some of your opinions. What kind of features would you like a clock product to have? The features we currently have in “FlipClocker" are: - Multiple background styles for your selection, including solid color background, gradient color background, and pattern background. - Turn your iPhone or Mac into a black-and-white number clock for fun.  - Easy switch between the 12 and 24-hour modes, as well as dark modes & light modes.  - Show and hide today's date. - Add animation effects to your clocks, such as waves, rectangles, fireworks, and clouds.  - Varying styles, skins, and fonts.  - Support digital number clocks and retro dial clocks.  My project website: http://flipclocker.com/

Hello, I would like to try out your clock app. I am interested in productivity hacks and I think a good clock app can be really helpful in that regard. Here are some things that I think can make a clock app stand out: 1. A quick way to lap times for various tasks that I do. If there was some way, I could go back and see the tasks that took the most time, I feel it would be really insightful. 2. A Pomodoro timer feature, where I can see from the clock that it's time for a short or a long break. Hope this helps. Would love to discuss more. I really like the design of the clock on your webpage. Great work. All the best for your product.

What is the benefit for this over your traditional clock other than looking nice? Someone else mentioned it, but I think you'd generate more interest if you put more features that deal with productivity in there. For example, setting timers that take complex actions to snooze.
