Comment on Show HN: 288 Analog Clocks Give Digital Time

Comments

It takes about 15 seconds for the clock to cycle. Only three of these seconds are spent actually showing the time. So if I want to know the time I need to sit and wait typically about 10 seconds before I'll know what time it is. It's cool, but it's upside down. It needs to be a clock first, then cool.

That depends on whether it's priority is to be a clock or a piece of art first. As an artwork, it more than succeeds. In it's current form, prioritizing art seems the correct choice. It takes up a fair chunk of screen real estate. It's the kind of thing you pop up for a bit and look at as a novelty. To be primarily a clock, it will need a more dedicated display. Even if that's just an LCD monitor connected to a Raspberry PI.
