Counting Up to a set number with an Image??

September 13, 2010 9:03 AM

Is there a mac app or website that allows me to count up to a set number with a big infographic? kind of similar to gaining EXP and watching your bar go towards level up.. or when a charity shows a thermometer with them adding money for the donations?

I'm looking to make work a little more exciting. I have a set goal to do 50 tasks a day. I would like to be able to have an image that shows where I am at that goal that I can update frequently and easy.

I think it's just a mental thing that will help me with work.

The flashier the better.

This is probably not exactly what you want but: Epic Win? I haven't used it, haven't even looked at it. It's just taking up space in my brain.

Best answer: Cooked this up for fun: http://lab.artlung.com/goal50/. Depends on localStorage so dependent somewhat on a modern browser. Simple, single page html silliness that to my eye seems to meet the need. I suppose it could kick out messages like "You're halfway there!" and "Keep trying!" and "You did it!" or do color changes or change the font size as you progress, or dancing bunnies could dance across the screen at some point, but this is a good basis.

Ideas and suggestions welcome via MeMail.

Response by poster: wow... ha. thank you for making that! any chance of making it so that it is lower on the page? so that the bar can be bigger? thanks again.
