There’s nothing like a good cup of tea, and few things as frustrating as being given a cuppa that would be better used as dishwater. But how long should you allow your tea to brew?
The Internet is replete with niche web-apps, and steep.it is one of those very specialised sites that makes you wonder why you didn’t think of it first. The site is simplicity itself: either choose from the list of existing tea types or enter your own time in the box provided. Once you’ve done that, a countdown opens up in a new window to let you know when to take the teabag out.
As well as steep.it, there’s e.ggtimer.com which styles itself as a bit more of a general countdown app, and a tool called Next Up which aims to keep meetings on track by telling you when the time’s up for each item on the agenda.
I love things like this – so simple but clever. I really do wish I thought of stuff like this first.
Do you know of any clever web apps you’d like to share? Is there a site you visit and think, “I really with I’d thought of that!”. Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
