Restore previous timer state after system reboot #16

First of all thank you for this amazing module. This is really great to have a pomodoro timer on my waybar.

I miss one little thing though, i want pomodoro timer to restore to previous state after a system reboot. (Say, i want to continue my work after reaching home)

Can we use ~/.cache/ or ~/.local/ to store the timer state every time it updates? and then use it to restore the old state (adjust new configuration or socket_nr) and continue the timer from where we left it before shutdown ?

Hmm.. We could do this, but I'm not sure how practical it is? If there's 15 minutes left of a work cycle and I leave work and resume when I get home, do I want to resume that session when I get back or just start over? Personally I'd consider that a new session and I'd start over.

I agree. Starting a new session makes more sense to me as well; considering practical application.

Can we make this configurable? and let the user decide We always have the reset button on waybar if we want to start a new session, right?

I am more interested to know your thoughts. Would it be a better enhancement or worse? Considering this feature is configurable it would be harmless to normal use-case, right?
