This was already done years ago:

https://sleepyti.me

with way, way less JavaScript. Sleepytime jQuery plus HTML is 40 KB. This new site with all JavaScript and HTML is over 600 KB. Seems much of the JavaScript is in creating the time picker. Thats disappointing, as you can do pretty close to the same thing with one line of HTML:

    <input type="time">

https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/HTML/Element/input/time

Also, why is your name Josh Ternyak, but source of the page has this:

    <meta name="author" content="Ben Centra">
    <meta name="copyright" content="&copy; Ben Centra 2020">

Jesus Christ dude. Be nice.

Why not try being encouraging instead of.. whatever that was.

I think that could have been worded much more nicely, but I get the OPs objection - it's sad kids are getting taught "this is the way to do things" and have no idea there was a better cleaner way.

I don't think this is the standard 'oh assembly in my granddads day, c in my dads day, ruby in my day, these young tigers and their js' either, there is no benefit to modern frameworks besides vendor lockin, which is an antibenefit. Its mostly a heaping pile that just seems to have more bugs and generally is making the web a horrible place.

Maybe he used this theme? https://github.com/bencentra/centrarium

Oh come on, he's a kid. lol
