This widget is intended as a somewhat cheeky response to Hackaday’s 555 contest. You've likely come across many different timer or alarm based circuits in the past, possibly even ones featuring 555’s to some extent. This timer of timer’s is somewhat different; it's almost entirely made up of 555's. The widget was rightfully dubbed the 555 Timer Timer, and consists of 271 NE555's!!
This is great! When will we get to see a larger version that uses a grand total of five hundred and fifty-five 555s?
