Scheduler is a module that has been around since the early days of Drupal. We're working on a website that uses a countdown-system that automatically unpublishes node a given time. This is configured in seconds with the Scheduler module. However, this module does not provide a live countdown timer, which would come in handy, since it's the most important part of our projects. Another well known platform using this approach is Groupon (click any item in the overview. The time appears on the right - screen).

Would you consider a Scheduler submodule as do-able, or out of scope? Or should it be the other way around: Scheduler providing Countdown Timer Field-compatibility?

Scheduler provides token support, so I guess that would be the easiest approach. Tokens look like this: [node:scheduler-unpublish]
