Add Countdown Timer for tasks #38

Open v-dimitroff opened 3 years ago

v-dimitroff commented 3 years ago

While working on tasks I caught myself wondering when did I start .. and "isn't this task taking too much time?". So something you probably have already though about but adding a countdown timer per task and recording how much time is spent on the task. Maybe the timer could be visible constantly to remind you not to get distracted?

If you consider this useful I am happy to collaborate :)

P.S. This is a great app which I have been using just a day and enjoy a lot! Even considered doing it by myself in the past but I'm glad you already did it!

Hey, this sounds interesting. How would you imagine it to work? I was thinking to do a Pomodoro timer.

Yeah, this is exactly what I had in mind while suggesting it :)

Well maybe it could be considered as a new section of a task. I would personally put it above the TODOs and when started it can display the remaining time in the top bar next to the app's icon?

Ideally I think having a history of the "cycles"/ runs and their duration would be very cool too but it is more of a nice to have.
