I refreshed at about 0:06 and the refreshed page was at 30:06
👎 Bad

• The colors of the timer are atrocious!
• The font size is very small when viewing from mobile making it unreadable :(
• I think people don't notice it at all because of the previous bullets

Sometimes when I eagerly wait for the timer to reach 0:00, I refresh and the pigeon pictures stay the same. This is very sad.

There's already cache expiry on the html itself but maybe it's not working or is not enough.

I've just saw in zappa tail that an invocation set to 23:00:00 only started at 23:00:20. Also, another one occurred about a minute later so I un-and-re-scheduled. Not sure if it helps.

I might need a different solution. A solution might be somehow in the client-side, showing a "finding more images... hang on" message somehow with page and or whatever. This way I may be able to keep using lambdas as opposed to having a dedicated 'cron' machine all while providing the great user experience pigeon.pictures' clients expect.
