To the best of my knowledge, tooltips will always get cut-off by the panel. Same applies from dopdown menus as well. No matter what framework you use (bootstrap or not), if the element does not fit in the panel, it will simply get cut-off.

I don't know what script @Alex White had linked, but here's my version of the script that converts files into binary strings: https://bitbucket.org/rendertom/convert-to-binary

The default $.colorPicker is actually a pita. However, there's a free script that you can use to invoke more dynamic ir ritcher color picker: https://github.com/smallpath/adobe-color-picker
At some point, I believe, @zlovatt was using above script as well.

There are 2 tools I've produced that deals with shapes and point selections:
https://aescripts.com/penpal and https://aescripts.com/vertex-tool
In Penpal extension we load the shape data into HTML Canvas and let user select points in there, and later perform actions based on the selection.
In the Vertex Tool I had a separate layer that "represents" selected layer by jumping from one vertex to another, when user clicks on a ScriptUI button. However, this is dumb way to do that. More professional way, avoiding the missing API for point selection from AEs side is implemented in Penpal.
What I'm trying to say here is that there's no perfect solution for this - what ever you do, is create a hacky way for a missing API.

Nope, sorry, AE does not provide any API to get selected points, unfortunatelly.

It would be best if you rewrote that repeat function as a separate method, so you could simply use this:
sName = sName + repeatString('0', zeroAmount);. This way you don't have to use a nested for loop, like you have it right now.
And the repeatString function would look like this:
function repeatString(string, times) {
var result = '';
for (var i = 0; i < times; i++) {
result += string;
}
return result;
}

Your for loop is incorrect. Try this instead:
for (i = 1; i < zeroAmount; i++){
sName += "0";
}

In what context are you using this method? C++, Expression, CEP extension, or ExtendScript?
If it's ExtendScript, then this method will not work, since ExtendScript uses very old JavaScript version (ECMA version 3.0) that does not have this method. You'll have to use the for loop to concatinate strings to achive what you are afterr.

Just gave a quick test on latest AE v18.0 and keyName seems to work just fine on OSx. It only returns undefined on shift/cmd/alt clicks, but works ok on any other key.

Im not sure what you are trying to achive here, nor on what property you're applying the expression, but maybe you're lokking for something like this?
if (time < 10) {
normal;
} else {
slow;
}

Teap, that's one way of doing that.
Although, having your buttons filled with AE UI color is not ideal, since user can always change the UI brightness in the AE Preferecens, but your buttons would still be dark-gray. But yeah, there's no way around this, unfortunatelly.

You cannot get right of that gray outline, unless you use a full sized png without an alpha channel.

nope, sorry, this doesn't work for AE.

Unfortunatelly, but AE does not provide any DOM listeners for scripts, i.e. there's no way for a script to know if anything changed in AE interface, without manually forcing your script to re-read the data.
Not sure about native C++ plugins though.
However, if it's a mask, why not use createPath() expression, that recalculates when layer size changes instead?

By the way, today I updated and published a new version of Adobe Script Runner, so all the paths should be set properly by default, and extension -shoud just work-

Hello, Reindeer.
The reason why Adobe Script Runner didn't work for you, is because you must have set the wrong path to AE executable. As much as I can observe on Mac, there's no "Adobe After Effects CC 2020" folder - there's either "Adobe After Effects CC" or "Adobe After Effects 2020". Adobe's marketing team is to blame for these naming conventions.
On the other hand, "Adobe Script Runner" and "ExtenScript Debugger" are two different extensions, one having nothing to do with the other. ASR is developed by me, while ESD is developed by Adobe.

If you are interested in how to set those files up, here's my random public repo that uses this module pattern https://github.com/rendertom/LST
Hope that helps

For that, my friend, use a namespace. Create an object, say "util", that holds your utility functions, and then import it into your main-entry file. For more info on how to create such object, look for Module Revealing Patterns, or something similar, here's and example https://medium.com/@Rahulx1/revealing-module-pattern-tips-e3442d4e352
I personally use it in such way:
// utils.js file content
var utils = (function(){
var module = {};
// publick method
module.sayHello = function(){
alert("hello there");
};
return module;
// Private method
function sayBey(){ / ... / }
})();
// In your main entry file "gui.jsx"
#include "utils.js"
utils.sayHello();

Which one is your main entry point file? Is it gui.jsx? If so, then declare all dependencies in this file. Basically, if you have dependencies in multiple files, it's best to define them in the top-level file, so you do not duplicate insertion. Here's the gist:
// gui.jsx
#include "lib/utils.jsx"
#include "lib/render.jsx"
#include "lib/import.jsx"
// here goes the rest of you gui.jsx file content

Basically, the scale property expects an array of 2 values - x and y, as in [x, y];
However, your slider returns only a single value, therefore AE throws an error. The easiest way to solve it would be to assign your slider value to some variable and then pass that variable twice as the result in the expression, similar to what @Mylenium has said. So something like this should do the trick:
let amp = linear(thisComp <... the rest of your slider expression ... >) ;
[amp, amp];

In your curent composition, you can retrieve an array of selected properties with: app.project.item(index).selectedProperties
Or on a layer, with app.project.item(index).layer(index).selectedProperties
More info here: https://ae-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/layers/layer/#layer-selectedproperties and here https://ae-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/items/compitem/#compitem-selectedproperties

I reckon this will be a rather complicated setup. ScriptUI isn't built for that kind of thing. For more flexible UI features you should be looking at CEP panels instead of ScriptUI.

I second what Mathias has said - there's no native way of doing what you want, apart from re-reading AE DOM every couple of seconds, and this approach really bogs down the system and isn't recommended.
The best way is to keep it simple and reload data by clicking on a button in your script.

That's because you're using a modal window to draw your elements. In your case, it's something like this:
var win = new Window("dialog", "name", undefined);
However, you can change it to this (dialog to panel), and the AE interface will not be locked:
var win = new Window("panel", "name", undefined);
Cheers.

What @Dan_Ebbers said - you have Rich Text quotes, and they need to be converted to regular quotes, singe or double.
if (clockStartTime > 0 && time < clockStartTime) {
addZero(minutes) + ": " + addZero(seconds);
} else {
"00: 00";
}
