Count characters in TEXTBOX when writing a New Entry

When creating a new entry, textboxes (short/long text) could show how many characters have been written.
This is perfect to accurately write meta-description and meta-titles
An extra feature is showing a different color if you are in the range of allowed number of characters (min/max) as defined for the field.
Summary
This improves UX when writing content, as you can see how long is your text.
Also gives instant feedback if the text is too short or too long
Why is it needed?
I'm always frustrated when writing content optimized for SEO, as I need to do it in an external app and paste it, so I can be sure I'm within the limits.

This would really help. Our editors have SEO requirements for certain size of titles and descriptions (but also we don't want to impose and it's impossible to do it without making a plugin with custom im-plemetation of a text field. Adding an option to show a count would be great, and also doesn't seem much implementation from your side.
