So I did this little pomodoro timer today for fun. It implements 20 minute work cycles with 5 minutes of rest between. For every work cycle you complete, you get a gold coin. :)
The code is horrifyingly rushed and sloppy so take it for what it is ... a project to while away a lazy Sunday.
I even wrote a proportionally spaced text routine for the 3 lines of text this thing displays. I'm THAT kind of nerd.
I would love to see two small features:
1.The ability to set a "reminder text" basically for the first step of the pomodoro process, which is identifying the task at hand, being able to write what exactly i should be doing, would be nice.
2.The ability to set the timer interval and break intervals. Also, I didn't use this for 4 full pomodoros, but I wonder if you also implemented the longer 15-30 minutes break after 4 pomodoros, and if so, being able to set that time as well would be nice.
So in conclusion: Reminder text for task at hand, and customizeable times for the 3 different durations of the pomodoro technique would be very welcomed!
But other than that, great job! I hope you continue to work on this and maybe polish it up a bit! But if not, still a fun lazy sunday project!
Those are great ideas! I'll have to see how I feel about working on it next time I get some time to code. Which unfortunately isn't often these days. :-/
