Minimal Pomodoro App Feedback
Hey folks!
I launched my first 'thing.' It's nothing major, just your standard pomodoro timer application. It just feels really good to have put it out there. I often struggle with having too many ideas and stretching myself too thin, so it's nice to achieve something however small.

Let me know what you think! Please tell me what your viewing it on. It probably works best on chrome.
Thanks!
I had this exact problem so I'm building Stackrate — a platform where developers peer-review each other's apps with structured feedback. No 'looks cool' comments, just honest critique from devs who ship. Waitlist is live if you want to follow along: https://stackrate-waitlist.netlify.app
Love creative domain name. I would make it PWA enabled and work on sizing of UI elements for different screen resolutions. This way people can install it as a desktop app.
Hey Tomas,
Thanks for the feedback!
That's a good call. I was just going to set up basic media queries to reconfigure the grid and change font sizes for mobile.
Making it a PWA is an interesting idea. Right now it's just a static site hosted in an s3 bucket. Would this change involve creating a node.js runtime environment? I don't have experience with that but I'm curious to try.
For this use-case you only need to add a manifest.json file. This will make your app installable. Optionally, to make it work offline you will need one more basic JS file (service-worker). No server code needed, all client side. You can read more about PWAs here: https://web.dev/add-manifest/
