potato-timer
===

Simple program for work/break alternating timing.

In europe, using the italian word for tomato (pomodoro) to name this project would be violating a copyright. Feel free to call this timer whatever you want in your own personal home. We'll call it potato timer here for the sake of avoiding italian prison.

(requires nodejs to be installed on your system)

`

$3

`

Polybar config

This is how the potato timer is meant to be experienced - as a vivid first-person multimedia interactive experiences:

`
[module/potatotimer]
type = custom/script

; click actions
click-left = potato-timer-cli start-timer
click-middle = potato-timer-cli toggle-timer
click-right = potato-timer-cli stop-timer

; rewrite and style the component
; idle state -> [ START FOCUS ]
; FOCUS state -> timer only (with red background)
; BREAK* state -> timer only (with green background)
exec = potato-timer-cli get-display 2>/dev/null | sed 's/idle$/[ START FOCUS ]/' | sed -r 's/FOCUS: (.+)/%{B#800} \1 /' | sed -r 's/(.*BREAK.+)/%{B#080} \1 /'

; evaluate 10 times a second to waste your CPU
interval = 0.1

; red underline
format-underline = #800

; you should have a line in your config: font-4 = ... (whatever font you like)
format-font = 4
