Bananaconda - A CR 3 Radioactive Monstrosity

Vhalis Mere created the bananaconda to play two rival warlords against each other in a bidding war. The warlords grew tired of his games and put aside their differences to storm his laboratories. In the ensuing battle, the bananaconda's radioactive aura decimated ranks of warriors before they could advance, and the serpent’s slippery hide rendered nets, chains, and binding spells nearly useless. Worse still, the creatures proved naturally stealthy and soldiers were killed before they even knew of it's presence. Survivors spoke of hearing a wet peeling sound moments before the hood unfurled. Vhalis deployed only three bananacondas in his defense, yet both warlords abandoned their mission rather than continue to explore the laboratories.

I made a simple hangboard timer and wanted to share.

I've not been able to get to the gym lately, but I wanted to keep up with some amount of training so when I get back to bouldering I don't lose all my progress. So I started hangboarding and just wanted something simple to help me with timing. It's a pretty simple timer app for doing repeaters. I hope you find it useful.

I know there are a lot of other hangboard timers out there but none of them really seemed suited to just doing simple repeaters and I didn't want to install a whole app on my phone just for a simple timer.

Note that I also tried to build it to be accessible to screen reader users and other types of assistive technology and to follow the best practices I know for accessible website programming. Hopefully this helps out any people with disabilities who are working on their climbing training.. Also I used some AI for the programming so you can be warned off in case you don't like that kind of thing. Oh and there's a random Amazon affiliate link at the bottom for the hangboard I use but it shouldn't get in the way of using the app.

If anyone finds it useful or finds any bugs or anything that need fixing let me know.

The first lemonkey was the work of Magister Odran Vexley, a flamboyant transmuter obsessed with preservation and alchemy. Vexley required living guardians for his enchanted orchards. He created something that would never tire, never hunger for ordinary food, and that could effeciently deter thieves and pests. He infused a captured jungle monkey with concentrated extracts from alchemical lemons cultivated under enchanted sunlight. He considered the result a perfect balance of plant resilience and animal cunning. For a time, the creature served faithfully, patrolling the groves and dissolving pests into harmless slurry.
