You Will Die in X Weeks

In plain words

You Will Die in X Weeks is a web app that calculates and visualizes how many weeks remain in a person's lifespan based on life expectancy data. Users input their age and see a countdown of weeks, designed to prompt reflection on mortality and encourage more intentional use of time. The tool appeals to people interested in quantified self-tracking and personal productivity, offering a stark visual representation of life's finite nature as motivation against procrastination.

  Hi! I made an interactive visualization of your life in weeks. Inspired by Tim Urban's Your Life in Weeks (Wait But Why) and Buster Benson's Life in Weeks. Hopefully it's a fun thing to do together with family over the holidays. I wrote about it on my digital garden: https://www.petemillspaugh.com/weeks-of-your-life Any feedback is welcome. Top on my todo list is improving performance (reduce interaction lag).
