Id love to have a countdown for just how long until the timer for page freshness runs out.<p>For the past several years, the "unknown expired link" has been an absolute infuriating problem.<p>Just add a timer and quell user click rage.

doesn't need fixing since it's a built-in mechanism to get people who've been browsing for too long back to executing on their project.

Or even a static div that tells the time at which the link will expire.
