### URL Modifiers <a href="#url-modifiers" id="url-modifiers"></a>

We never seemed to agree on the behaviour of the bar.\
Is it a countdown bar? ie: the bar shrinks as the timer progresses\
is it a progress bar? ie: the bar grows as the timer progresses

The conversations become quite philosophical and didnt really produce any good results.&#x20;

Now you can decide this yourself as a URL modifier. The default behaviour is for a progress bar since it had the most traction with the user base

{% hint style="info" %}
**Your bar, your rules**

*Countdown bar*: */timer?progress=down*

*Progress bar: /timer?progress=up*
{% endhint %}
