Re: Accessible count-down app?
There's probably a graphical application for calendrical calculations,
but I do mine using a bash script I'm attaching. Hope attachments are
allowed. If not, and anyone's interested in the "days-between" script,
let me know, and I'll come up with another way to share it.
With this script in hand one can write oneself simple shell scripts to
do stuff like the following:
#!/bin/bash
echo "We pray there are no more than $(/usr/local/bin/days-between `date
+%m/%d/%Y ` 01/20/2021) days of Trump before us,"
echo "noting there are but $(/usr/local/bin/days-between `date +%m/%d/%Y `
11/03/2020) days to the election."
Note: above code is three lines.
Best,
Janina

Re: Accessible count-down app?
I’ve already been doing it manually on my Vario ultra, I just thought it would be cool to have an app on my phone that would do it. There are lots of them out there, I just don’t want to buy one not knowing whether it’s accessible.

Re: Accessible count-down app?
You could do it in a spreadsheet like Pages. In A1 enter the fixed date. In B1 enter =TODAY(). In c1 enter a1-b1. You will probable have to format the cesll to look right but it seems to work.
