Display a coundown timer on user page
It would be nice to have the countdown timer for my least safe goal displayed on my user page (above all the graphs). This would make it easy to check the site quickly and see what my highest priority should be.
Alice: We practically have this already! Just look at the color of the top graph, since the graphs are sorted by least-safe-ness.
Dreeves: One monkey wrench in Alice’s proposal to just glance at the color of the first graph is that we let you customize the panic threshold for changing the sort order, so the top graph could actually be green when others are red. Alice is still probably right that it suffices to look for any red graphs. We’d love more feedback about this though, if you’re still finding it tedious to check on what your most critical goals are.

Ha, yeah, at first I thought I'd want this myself but then I realized there's no point in seeing "yes, one of your goals is a beemergency, as always". :)
And note that you can see the colors of the goals in the gallery. So if nothing's red you're good till tomorrow. If nothing's orange then you're safe tomorrow as well. If everything's green then the next 2 days are good (for example, you may want to make sure everything's green by Friday night if you want to be able to do nothing on Saturday and Sunday).

I think that this is a good idea in theory, but for someone like me who always has an emergency day on one of their goals it wouldn't be very useful. For example today I have 3 emergency days.
