Countdown Timer

A simple command-line countdown timer built with TypeScript and inquirer that allows you to set a target date and time for a countdown.

Code Overview

The Countdown Timer is implemented using TypeScript and the inquirer library for user input. Here's a brief overview of how the code works:

• Users input the target date and time through the command-line interface provided by the inquirer library.
• The countdownTimer function calculates the remaining time in seconds between the current date and time and the target date and time.
• The countdown is displayed and updated in real-time using a setInterval loop.

Feel free to explore the code and customize it as you see fit. You can enhance the app by adding more features like visual indicators or different time units for display.
