It's a nice timer, but this recent casualization of the word 'fuck' is irritating, and I don't care to support it. It was in a ton of the blog headlines posted on this very site last year, and all it does is detract from the power of the word, while doing nothing to add an edge to your project. Sorry.<p>Nice timer, though. Find a real way to motivate the user without abuse and it'd be even cooler.
I like it! I think the progress indicator in the title needs some rounding love, however:<p><pre><code> document.title = (100 * time / totaltime).toFixed(1) + "%";</code></pre>
It's non-intuitive that you have to press enter to activate the timer. I couldn't work out why making the text box lose focus didn't start it. I ended up having to read the source to figure it out!<p>Also, it'd be good if there would be a way to start a new task after clicking "I give up"!<p>Funny idea for a pomodoro timer!
A few thoughts:<p>1. Great idea! I use Pomodoro a lot, and find it really helpful.<p>2. Honestly, I'm offending at the word Fuck and Shit, and I would never use a product that was swearing at me.
Is there a way for me to get a link to a pre-configured JFDIN command? This would allow me to make a work item for entrenched coworkers and send it to them. ;-)
Don't know if you're seen <a href="http://writeordie.com/" rel="nofollow">http://writeordie.com/</a>, it's mostly for papers. Just remembered it because if you don't write fast enough it starts eating your text.
It seems that some people want less profanity and some want more. It might be useful to let all the text on the page be user-editable. That way they can choose the exact phrase that would have the desired emotional impact on them (and anyway, why tight-couple the tech and the copy?)<p>For instance, my first language is Hindi, and English four-letter words just sort of slide over me without making much of a dent. I had to 'inspect element' on the h1.tagline containing 'Just F* Do It Now' and change that to something in Hindi before it really made sense. Good job, by the way.
Feature Request: Allow the use of a hashmark (or a different method) to pre-fill the user input, and auto-start the timer. Then you could send it to people who you want to get stuff done.
I need to see lists of tasks on which I fucked up and the ones I completed. Basically, I need to track my progress.
And yes, customized timer obviously.<p>p.s. : More profanity will be appreciated, maybe customize option for that too.
