looked over the page, not 100% sure on what it does

Thanks for asking.

Let us look at a concrete example: "What is this useful for?"

Preparations:

I am running my crowdfunding now (local, web) so that everyone can give a little bit, thanks. ...
With the getAccountATs (local, web) I can find out the ...
"nextBlock":221414 - which is (probably) the end block of my campaign

Now that I know that BURST block 221414 -and let's say ChainCountDown were already ported- ...

... I create a countdown image URL like

http://altsheets.ddns.net:8888/burst/221414.png or
http://altsheets.ddns.net:8888/burst/221414.png?heading=crowdfund-me or
http://altsheets.ddns.net:8888/burst/221414.png?font=Furore or
http://altsheets.ddns.net:8888/burst/221414.png?color=939597&bgcolor=282C2F

and that creates an image similar to this one:

http://altsheets.ddns.net:8888/nxt/750000.gif?heading=crowdfund-me&color=939597&bgcolor=282C2F&fontsize=30&headingfontsize=60&font=Furore

more infos about those url parameters on http://altsheets.ddns.net:8888/

The cool thing obviously is ... that when you reload this page in a few hours ... that the image will be an updated one (Ctrl-Shift-Reload).
It is a toy, yes. But it's actually useful for crowdfunding campaigns, hardfork announcements, dividends payment dates, voting, etc.
- whenever you want to put emphasis on a certain moment in TIME, and in a cryptocurrency appropriate way.

TL;DR:

A blockchain aware countdown image server.

but I like BURST development so I donated you 50k

Thanks a lot. That is much appreciated.

Happy to accept it ... as a little reimbursement for all the overhead I have had
with getting to know, documenting, and helping to improve your system.
If anyone else wants to reward me for that, please also donate to my
Giveback-License address BURST-ESVR-L2WJ-NT3Y-BWM6V. Thx.

And the campaign is finally running now - as you had requested ...
