More obvious end of break #41

Closed MrsKatUSMC closed 2 years ago

MrsKatUSMC commented 3 years ago

I thought having the auto > manual break option created would make the big pay to pass guy or the timer icon during a pomodoro come up when a break ended... but automatic or manual, all it does is make a noise (I cant hear it) and a tiny little red triangle at the timer (not noticeable unless I look up at it). I originally thought I was losing the streak because I was distracted by taking care of a medically challenged kiddo, but later realized... I'm not even knowing the break ended when I'm sitting right there.

Can you create an option that has a Big Obvious Visual Aid on the screen, so hearing impaired users can know the break is ended?

I also love this idea! I will say, what I have been doing in the interim is setting an ambient sound, a sound for pomo ending and for break ending, while exteing the extension time.

Great idea! Until I can add this feature, here are some suggestions:

  1. You can use the Habitica mobile app to get mobile notifications when break is about to be over! (you can enable it in the "Habitica" settings of the extension).

  2. Open the app as a new window - this feature will be added soon but there is a workaround to do it right now: Go to "History" and click here: image

You will be directed to a URL that looks like this: chrome-extension://iaanigfbldakklgdfcnbjonbehpbpecl/FullHistory.html. change FullHistory.html in the url to popup.html and it will open the app in a new window.

@tripwalks @MrsKatUSMC In the next update you will see an icon that allows to open the popup as a new window. you can put the window on the side when you take a break and see the visual RED color of the break extension. image

Hope it helps :) I hope to also add sound for break but I have some bugs to solve first for firefox.
