⏰ BetterClock ⏰

Origin story

I just watched this video : So... the minute hand shows progression — apparently we think of time in wildly different ways from the excellent channel Technology Connextras.

I wanted to create a clock that combines the advantage of an analog clock: progress bar thanks to the hands and the advantage of a digital clock: precise and quick numbers to read.

How to compile and run ?

From IntelliJ IDEA

Just click on the "Run" button.

From the compiled executable

First use maven to compile the project.

mvn javafx:jlink

This command generates ./target/betterclock/bin/launcher.bat file that can be used to run the application. You just have to run launcher.vbs at the root of the project to run it. Feel free to create a shortcut to the vbs script.
