Node.js and Typescript Countdown Timer

This is a simple Node.js timer application that allows you to set a timer for a specific number of seconds, up to a maximum of 6 hours. It uses the date-fns library for date calculations and inquirer for user input.

Features

• Set a timer for a specified number of seconds.
• Provides a visual countdown in the format HH:MM:SS.
• Timer expires when the countdown reaches zero, and a message is displayed.

Usage

To start the timer, run the following command:
