Pomodoro timer in the same line are synced.

[jguo-uw]

Describe the bug

1. The Pomodoro timer is linked to the created time of the block. So two timers in the same block are always synced.

2. When I'm using the Pomodoro timer for a task, I sometimes need several cycles. So when the first one is done, I want to restart a new one for the next cycle. But now it is impossible.

3. Since the timer uses the created time of the block, when block id changed, the running timer info is lost.

To Reproduce Create two timers {{[[POMO]]}} in the same line.

System Information:

• Roam version: 0.7.2-232a9cec
• Device: desktop computer
• OS: Windows
• Browser: Chrome

Additional context I hope the timer has itself started time. So the timers in the same line can work separately as below.

Can you please elaborate?

Can you please elaborate?

I'm so sorry that I just realized my editing was not posted at all. I edited the main post already. Hope it works.

Ahh gotcha, we will look into this!

[Thomasb3]

Yes, this. I typically only use Pomodoro timers for longer tasks, so usually I'll need multiple timers before finishing. When I can finish in under 30 minutes, I'll just do it and not bother with timers. Since I can't add multiple functioning Pomodoro timers to a task, currently this feature has no practical use for me. I hope an option for adding multiple independent Pomodoro timers as jguo-uw described will be added.

I agree with @Thomasb3, it would be useful to have a string of timers, then when they're done you also have accurate feedback regarding the time and effort the task actually took. As a work around I am adding the new timer on a new, indented block and then merging the blocks when they're done.
