PS: I'd love to contribute unfortunately I have no experience at all programming with the linux / gnome APIs. All I could to is a terrible hack of the javascript.
Awesome update! thanks! :+1:
Glad you liked the update! Thanks for the feedback!
I was desperate to find an equivalent to Horo which I used on my last Mac Mini - and this works well!
Surprising how difficult it is to find a simple app to do a timer. I was really looking for just a timer, visible in the top panel, easy to start. And this is what I was looking for :)
One thing that I liked on Horo is you could use this notation to set the time, I think this would be a neat feature:
15m
for 15 minutes - instead of typing15:00
It gets more useful if you want
1h
instead of typing1:00:00
Now Horo had a weird limitation in that I had to type
1h 15m
with a space, oddly enough I don't know why it required the space, so that would be a potential issue to look for - being able to enter either1h 15m
or1h15m
.One thing Horo did as well, though I find it less intuitive, is you can also do
90m
which is the same as1h30m
The way I use your app is once I click the icon I just press TAB 4 times to quickly get to the input box, then I enter eg.
30:00
then press Enter.In that regard, wOuld it make sense also to have the input automatically focused? This could be even quicker to input - and potentially for keeping the tab order intuitive, move the controls below the input, that way if you tab one more, you get to the buttons?
