Please explain what these to symbols at the bottom of the screen are meant for, as there is nothing written about these 2 buttons whatsoever

I dug through the source code, and I am still not sure what they are supposed to be? Source calls them "Quote" and "dash". I really also think this should be explained somewhere.

ympavlov commented 2 years ago

Sorry for delay, guys. Dashs and quotes counters are intended to be interruptions counters. Every dash means one external interruption (by someone or something), every quote means an internal interruption (you'd distracted yourself). You could read about this in the book https://francescocirillo.com/products/the-pomodoro-technique Many people use Pomodoro technique without this counters, but I like use them.

But you could count whatever you want, or count nothing.

Please vote, should I

ccoenen commented 2 years ago

my first instinct in the app was "long press", some apps have a toast message on long-press that offers information like that. Generally I think the closer the explanation is, the better.

Thanks for the explanation. But this should be explained somewhere

  1. Here in the git repo (e.g. README.md)
  2. and in the App itself

Please vote, should I

btw: This voiting doesn't work in dark mode of GitHub (or the browser). I can not see the item text.

Honestly, there's no need for the readme and the app itself to be mutually exclusive. Imho, you should put the description in both. I tinkered with both these buttons in the few months I've used the app so far with no apparent effect. At the time I first got this app, I either couldn't find this Github thread or missed it completely. I could find nothing in the documentation. I was about to open my own "issue" when I found this new (to me) issue.

Do the interruption buttons have any actual effect on the operation of the app itself, or are they only for personal reference?

Same, the dashes and apostrophes don't do anything, they just ＥＸＩＳＴ. Also, if there's one or more of any you can hold down one and a menu will pop-up to remove one from the count.

Finally, hyphen and apostrophe buttons tooltips are made. New versions are upcoming with f-driod build them

Usual Android tooltips are incompatible with context menu on buttons. So tooltips are added in context menus header. Faced with text length troubles both in headers and menu items, nevertheless it should work since 1.14. Will close after the build is deployed
