Count up from a given timestamp

[amrlabib]

@DuncanLewis useTimer(countdown) should get timestamp in future so if you want 5 minutes timer you will just pass now() + 5 minutes and the way it works is by subtracting passed timestamp from now so basically passing timestamp in past will not work and will immediately expire.

For useStopwatch(count up) it will always start from 0 and count up.

I didn't fully understand what you are trying to achieve, are you trying to use useStopwatch but starting from specific minutes example instead of starting from 0 it should start from 5 minutes ? is that what you are trying to achieve ? please let me

Thanks

Thanks for replying @amrlabib - You have pretty much understand what I'm trying to achieve - a counter show elapsed time, e.g.
00:00:01... 00:00:02.. as we can do with useStopwatch - however I need to do this starting from a timestamp in the past, rather than from 0.

So if we say it will start 1 minute in the past it should work in the following way right ?

-00:00:59
-00:00:58
-00:00:57
-00:00:56
.

.
-00:00:02
-00:00:01
00:00:00
00:00:01
00:00:02
00:00:03
00:00:04
.
.
.

This is what you are trying to achieve @DuncanLewis ?
