The 1.1 version is out now in the app store. All new conversion page that works with duration or to dates. And ample improvements in other areas as well. One practical use of the app is that conversion page. If you’re doing arithmetic with time or dates, it’s really handy to convert it into metric seconds, do your math, and then convert it back. Much easier than working out months, days, hours, minutes and seconds as you go. Let the software do the hard part.

Now, I’m working on a new app that will be, uh, somewhat more practical than an app that works with metric seconds timekeeping. Which, I would certainly admit, is a niche application. For a particularly small niche.

But Metric Seconds was a fun idea and I enjoyed writing it. So I consider that time well spent.
