Maker Time is an alternative time keeping system I designed after being inspired by this essay.

On mobile it’s just showing the number “751” on the middle of the page, the text “maker time” and a background picture of earth seen from space. Is this how it is supposed to look? If so, what does it do?


On desktop there's a "What is Maker Time" link that provides the following:

Your clock has it backwards. Time is infinite, but our time on earth is not. Clocks should count down, not up. Time keeping should be based on meaningful celestial events like the year (one earth rotation around the sun) and the day (one rotation of the earth) Each unit of time should be based on a viable period of work for makers. Maker Time is reset on January 1st each year. The year is divided into 1095 blocks (1098 in leap year). Every 8 hours the count decreases by one.
