The problem Own The 2020s solves

I thought it might be neat to build something that would help one visualize how much time they could save if they gave up or cut down on a bad habit. Own The 2020s has only one purpose - let you check how much time you can save if you wasted less time in the new decade. It does the calculation for you so you don't have to.

It also tells you what can be done with the time you save. The point is to make you realize what can be accomplished in the new decade (2020s) with a little sacrifice (read 500 books, master a language, etc.).

Challenges I ran into

I came up with the idea to build this at around 5 PM on 31st December 2019. I began coding at 8 PM. I thought it would be good to launch it by 1:30 PM on January 1st the next day and challenged myself to build the site, buy a domain name, design the graphics & branding, etc. by myself by that deadline. The only major problem I faced was the time constraint - I had to get my sleep and attend New Year's Mass too. With deep focus and concentration, I managed to get it done by 2 PM on January 1, 2020. And it ended up becoming Product #3 on Product Hunt for the day January 2, 2020!

The minor bugs I found were debugged fairly quickly. Special shoutout to my friend Yash for spotting one typo in the code that was causing a bug!
