Feature Requests: Extra Time Warning sounds, and extra analysis after last move played

Hi,
2 Requests:

The Time Critical sound as is just isn't enough for me. I need a more persistent sound for when I get below 5 seconds or so. I play with increment, so if the alarm was going off every time I got below 5 seconds that would be awesome. If in the options a preference could be set for when to play the sound that would be great.

Secondly,

When a game is won on time often things are quite unresolved and complicated. A bit of engine analysis supplied at this point would be great.

Thanks!
This sounds harsh... But perhaps increase the volume :p

On point two, you can use the computer analysis to analyze a game that was determined by the time. Same as requesting a computer analysis for other games.
Not sure if you wanted the ability to move the pieces around and see how the evaluation changes, or were satisfied with the existing computer analysis feature.

If the former, I have done the following:
1) Setup a server running stockfish that listens for analysis requests
2) Written a Chrome extension that sends requests to that server and receives the results back in real time, when the browser is on an analysis board.

Please check it out if you are interested: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lichess-live-analysis-eng/nbghhbfeikmnkhfbjkgcifhnkfacjdgk

Source for server and client (Chrome extension) here: github.com/freefal67/lichess_live_engine

Any feedback would be very welcome.
@freefal. That extension looks handy. Could you explain more about it? Like, what exactly does it do?

Cheers!

@Roll I find the extension handy and hope others do as well. What it does is fairly simple. It looks at the current position (as represented by the FEN below the board) and sends it to a server running stockfish for analysis. That initial request starts the analysis. The extension then sends subsequent requests every half second for the next 15 seconds getting updates on the engine's evaluation.
