No tutorial but what you could do is use myDate.getHours, myDate.getMonths and so om then transform everything to have it in hours and call it myhours. Now transform as well in hours your date you’re making your countdown for (let’s call it eventhours) then do myhours - eventhours. You have the time left in hours. divide by 24 to have in days.
