what is it?
A pomodoro/work timer featuring sudokus!
challenges?
The sudoku was very frustrating. I had no clue what recursion was, and I don’t think I could have done this without my sibling’s help! Also, it was hard working on this over a long, sporadic time frame because I kept forgetting what I learned.
what am I proud of?
I’m proud of the sudoku (duh!) :). It was also very cool being able to easily do things (ex: make a window close by clicking an x) which had been major struggles in previous projects.

My pause button for my timer is a bit weird, because it seemed like there was a bug (you had to click it twice the first time), but when I ran the debugger, it worked, so…?

Added:
- ambience mode (listen to the sounds of the sea!)
- checklist! (mostly making sure that boxes stayed checked when adding/deleting tasks)

Yay! The sudoku works! I got help from my sibling (they are a programmer), and it actually generates a puzzle correctly. Besides that, I have just been working on my checklist. (I’m not quite sure how eight hours passed; I guess I’m a slow typer???)

So… what did I do? Sadly, essentially nothing. You see, I was working on creating a sudoku, and I thought I figured it out (all by myself – I was very proud). But no. I only realized after spending a dumb amount of time on my initial plan (of only generating the clues/initial filled squares) that it wouldn’t guarantee a solution. So now I’m back at square one, trying to figure out how to generate the entire puzzle and then remove values to create the starting hints. I have to figure out recursion, but I do not fully understand…

What I added/changed:
- Added tooltips (for the timer set button + break “apps”)
- Fixed bugs (the timer wasn’t removing the previous set time when the user closed the timer window & the quote window wasn’t hidden on load)
- Added quote window - Yay! Inspiration!
- Added a pause button to the timer (I was afraid it was going to be terribly buggy and difficult, but it was actually very simple! :)
- A few random css changes - fonts, flavor text
- Break button now does something! - opens a “break direct” window w/ “apps” + auto pauses work timer
- Focus mode: click a brain emoji to turn off sounds
- Added water/stretch reminders every 30 minutes
Also: I didn’t really add this yet, but I got the idea to put in a “tips” feature for productivity; (un)fortunately I am a sucker for that type of stuff!

I finally got the timer to work!! First I was stuck on making the timer countdown, because it only displayed the input time, then I figured that out and got more stuck on making it so that when a user input a new time, it would restart the timer. But lo and behold… Now you can both use AND change it! Besides that, I worked out a few minor problems:
- max times (so no giant #s)
- decimal inputs
- stopping the clock if the user closes the timer window

Added:
- divs are now draggable
- beginning of work timer
3h 22m 24s logged
Currently my site looks somewhat goofy with the overlap of the divs, but…
What I Did:
- added a clock
- outlined a bunch of features I want to add (the empty boxes - timer, checklist, etc.)
- background/basic design
