 * Love this plugin — it just works and looks great too. Thank you!
 * Any chance we can add a countdown timer somehow? Doesn’t have to be fancy, can
   even be text and take the same styles.
 * Cheers

 * Hi [@antibalashifi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antibalashifi/) glad 
   you are enjoying the plugin.
 * Thanks for the feature request. Simple Banner’s settings are designed to give
   control over the visual placement/design and give the user ultimate control over
   the content of their banner. Any feature that adds content to the banner is hard
   to implement because 1) a large majority of people most likely don’t need it 
   and 2) even if they do, my specific implementation won’t necessarily give them
   exactly what they want.
 * Specifically for the countdown timer, that is something you can implement with
   the already existing features of the plugin, [https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_countdown.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_countdown.asp).
   If you need more help implementing a timer like this please let me know and I
   will look into it when I get time.

 * Thanks for the quick response. As a fellow software designer I totally understand
   why you may not want to add that feature.
 * It would be great to find a direction for people like me who aren’t coders but
   can hack something together if shown an example of what they can use.
 * Only issue with the js example is that you can’t set a time zone from what I 
   can tell, so it takes the time from the user’s computer.
 * Looking forward to your response, thanks again.

 * Hi [@antibalashifi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antibalashifi/) you can
   set the timezone in the countdown date:
 *     ```
       new Date("Jan 5, 2021 15:37:25 EST").getTime();
       ```
