DateClock
DateClock is a real-time countdown clock dashboard built for NEP broadcast production. A Node.js/Express + Socket.io backend manages 6 named timers stored in a flat JSON file, pushing updates to all clients instantly so operators share a synchronized view. The Svelte frontend offers fullscreen, three-clock, and full-dashboard layouts for different control room screens. Clocks count down to a target timestamp, go red past expiry, and drift is corrected via periodic server time syncs.
