A very cobbled-together .beat clock display

I've been seeing more and more people utilizing .beat time on here and it made me realize I really have no handy means of tracking the current .beat time or making sense of timestamps from other users! So I decided I would make a little script for fun - it displays a real-time .beat clock in the header of the site here.

It's definitely not perfect, and I'm sure someone can probably make a better version. I kind of slapped this one together using some code I scraped together while I was making a Firefox plugin for a similar purpose. Also, major thanks to @Twilight-Sparkle for giving me the promise logic so the new elements would actually load correctly!!!

Grab it here! https://gist.github.com/mellodillo/ac418cc4ec8ae1fc1bb0cfe69d827d7b/raw/956ec88aab2576da1b14ef26e79f8d6db30773a4/cohost_beatclock.user.js

Nice work! I managed to add a beats widget to my actual menu bar a while back and decided to replace my system clock at work with it for extra disorientation haha

oh like your operating system menu bar? I actually would be interested in figuring that out too, it'd be nice to have my local time and internet time side by side

So on my Mac, I downloaded SwiftBar, which is a tool to make a menu bar widget out of a bash script, it just runs the script at regular intervals and puts the output in the menu bar. And then I set up the script linked here in that, telling SwiftBar to run it once a second. I’m doing this off of memory, I don’t have the setup in front of me, but I’d be happy to double check it tomorrow if you’d find it useful.

Oh neat! I'm on Windows so I'm not sure if I'd be able to do any sort of equivalent...once I'm home again I'll have to look around and see if there's any good guides on writing a widget to add to the Windows taskbar
