Show HN: A simple but beautiful date and time display (akash.dev)

A year ago, I noticed how professors of mine would always show some kind of clock on the screen during exams (e.g. ClockTab [1]), and I thought it would be a nice idea to design a more modern version of this and implement it as a side project. The changing gradient in the background adds an interesting and calming factor to this clock compared to others that only have a static background, and there are options to customize the display and change the font as well. The source code for this can be found on GitHub [2].

Nice colours. You could add support for more international date formats

e.g. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-0169/overview-7/ind...

That is one beautiful looking clock, but 700 KB just to show the time and date? Madness.
