## What Is CountdownParty?

CountdownParty is a paid, one-time-purchase platform for creating shared countdown experiences. Users set a title, pick a target date/time, choose a theme, optionally add premium add-ons, pay once (starting at ₦500 NGN via Paystack), and receive a permanent shareable countdown page.

Key differentiators:
- Real-time sync across every connected device
- Live viewer presence (see who is watching)
- Confetti and fireworks celebrations when the timer hits zero
- Live chat between participants
- Custom themes, fonts, music, background media, and reveal content
- Embeddable countdown widget for external websites
- Password-protected private countdowns
- Custom page URLs (e.g. /c/my-birthday-2027)
- No subscriptions — pay once per countdown, it lives forever
