Remaining milliseconds are converted to days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Values never go negative and update every second.

Leap years are handled automatically by the calendar — the interval from July 18 to next July 18 is 365 or 366 days as appropriate.
5. Already passed?
If today is after July 18, the timer counts toward next year’s July 18 and shows how many days ago the last one occurred.
6. Responsive & scoped
