Show HN: "LawyerClock" - watch your cash burn during meetings
http://www.lawyerclock.com
Hey everyone. I'm a founder of a Boston based, venture backed startup, unrelated this this link. One of my business partners and I coded this website DURING long and painful meetings with our attorneys as a way to pass the time. We racked up over $100k in legal bills through a couple fundraising and legal hurdles. This is the website that resulted from that time.<p>We'd love your feedback for version 2.0. Thanks!

Very nice.
It could use a button to keep track of the "percentage of time spent on topic."
Click the button when you go off topic, click it again when you get back on topic and the site calculates the exact percentage, instead of leaving me to guess.

Great point. I think that would be a good addition. For now you can adjust the slider in real time.
Wasn't there a site like this, but for just meetings in general?
Not that I've seen before, though I admittedly didn't spend a lot of time researching this.
Yeah the layout looked familiar, but i didn't find the one i remember. This is certainly the first one I've seen with a lawyer theme, and the "on-topic" ratio.

Good find. Ironically, I've never seen that before. Unfortunately not the first idea i've had that was already created :)
Your second link from Github is it. Thanks.
very funny ahha. Cool project.
Thanks! Let's get some ideas for V2. I'm considering showing things you could have bought with the money you spent. I.E., once the bill hits $1,500 it shows a Macbook burning up.
That got a chuckle. You can also substitute lawyer for consultant.
