Add Embed feature while page is being delayed

[DanPabxD]

There is a feature I think would help many people

Embedding.

I wish I could do some Anki flashcards while I wait for the webpage delay to run out.

And I think something that would look like this could be amazing

I'm a supporter of the "water dropping day by day wears the hardest rock away" approach.
Meaning that I believe those small steps can go a long way in self-development.

Delaying the page on itself is already a great resource to make one rethink what they should be doing, but putting what they should be doing right on their faces while they wait is even greater!

I mean, I know that within 15-60 seconds I could easily review 2 to 10 flashcards or so, but I often procrastinate on it while still opening distracting web pages.

Apart from that, people could embed Google Sheets, to-do lists, and so on and so forth. The possibilities are limitless.

This is a great idea, but unfortunately many websites will not allow themselves to be embedded as an IFRAME within a webpage from a different site. AnkiWeb is one of them. I tried it as a proof-of-concept:

If you get the delaying page twice, it's usually because the website directs to another website, so both get delayed in sequence.

Is it possible to add more websites or create a list and open them randomly?

Yes, but you would have to create your own custom page to do that. The URL above is just to demonstrate how it can be done.

Apologies for my ignorance, but how do I make a custom page such as the one you did?

On another matter, is it possible to add the countdown timer to the tab title? Thanks!

The custom page needs to be hosted on a website, or at least a local server, so that it can be accessed with the http protocol. The easiest way to create one would be to copy one of the example pages linked here and edit it as you want (i.e., save the html file, edit it, and upload it to your own server).

There's currently no option to add the countdown timer to the tab title. Feel free to post it as a separate feature request in the Ideas category.

I greatly appreciate your help!

You're welcome. Feel free to ask follow-up questions. I need to get that documentation written. 🙂
