Great plugin! Would give it 5 stars if countdowns were sorted on remaining time. Now I add a recent event to the list and it is put at the bottom below later events.

I was looking for a super simple countdown time to keep the concept of time in constant focus. This Countdown does just that. It's simple. It just works. Thank you for making this!

amazing, despite the lack of being able to move the events around, it is the only count down I could find that would do more than one event.
