Browser Based Boil Timer [v1.0]

Good day everyone! I've played with a lot of brewing software, but there was one need I didn't find filled easily anywhere:

I wanted a simple, extensible, portable way to track my boil additions.

I'm a web programmer, so I chose the platform I'm most comfortable with. The program is extremely bare bones, and is only designed to do one thing. I always have my laptop or my iPhone with me while brewing, so a web interface makes sense for me. I formatted the time input the way we think about our recipes. If you set it up for a 60 minute boil, and set a hop addition for 5 minutes, it will count down to 55 minutes after the start of the boil. Here's a quick screenshot, and then I'll run down the features:



Features:

• Tracks any number of boil additions
• Shows proper elapsed time even if computer has gone to sleep and been re-activiated
• Additon times, names, and quantity can be changed while the timer is running
• Option to hide completed boil additions
• Tested in IE 8, Firefox 3.5, Chrome, and Safari (each browser makes it look a little different)

Things I'd like to add:

• Audio feedack at each addition time
• Option for pop-up box at each addition time
• Ability to remove unwanted or accidental rows
• Specific layout better suited to iPhone

My goal is to keep this thing simple and purpose driven, but I am interested in your feedback and suggestions. To use, just point your browser at http://brewtimer.headfog.org! Cheers!

Looks good. It would be cool to have a mash schedule section as well.

Looks great! I love the simplicity.

I agree with the things that you want to add. Here's my ideas...

-Have a check box to click once an addition is done and then it is somehow marked as done.
-Have an option to change additions so that they are in order, no matter what order they were added in the "additions" section. I listed additions out of order because that is how it was listed in a recipe, but I would have liked them to be listed in order in the timer section. Perhaps that is just how my brain is organized...

IT's awsome....

Some kind of sounder would be great. Other than that, It's terrific.

@EricCSU: I actually had sorting implemented at one point, but there were bugs when multiple additions shared the same addition time (say, finings & chiller both at 15 minutes). I agree completely that this is a needed feature.

@Plan9: This is on my short list already.

UPDATEs!
