I’m happy to announce the latest release of my conference session timer app “JS Timer”. This release, version 2.1, is the version used at our latest conference.

You can get JS Timer 2.1 from Github.

Returning to this release are binary “App” versions for both Mac and Windows. The Mac version is built with MacGap1 and the Windows app is built with NW.js. The NW.js toolkit is huge compared to the MacGap project, so the Windows binary release is a much larger download. I’ve used NSIS to pack the NW.js release into a single compressed executable which reduces the size considerably and also produces a single convenient EXE file.

Finally, you can run JS Timer from the live web version.

We used this version successfully across a four-day conference, so I’m pretty sure I’ve flushed out all the bugs. If you find something wrong with it, please open an issue on Github.
