Interesting idea, I'll see how long I can stick to it.

#12Checking the chat, it appears it is filled with a lot of low-effort type stuff, something akin to a twitch chat. Are these personal friends or something? I like the idea but that chat ruins it a bit.
You can probably open Developer Tools and remove the entire DOM node if it distracts you so much.
To OP, a "light board" of "I got it done!" where people can mark that they accomplished their Pomodoro would be an interesting feature. With a big disclaimer that it's based on self-reporting and the honor system. OTOH it might be demotivating for some people, so an option to turn it off would be good too.
Maybe even have a streak mode ("20 Pomodoros today!"), but I guess some people will game this for bragging rights, even though no one will know who they are. A way around this is probably to reset it every midnight (UTC), and only allow the maximal number (e.g. at 10:00 AM UTC, only 30 Pomodoros are possible) so no one can brag to have done a gazillion Pomodoros today.

#14Great idea, but that is the most toxic chat I have seen since Youtube when it first came out. You need filters asap in there.

#15I like the idea, but the website seems to freeze instantly on mobile chromium, and I see a blurred chat with what seems like a lot of spam

I was also a bit annoyed, so If you also use Arc browser you can use this boost to remove it https://arc.net/boost/4D18CEB9-8295-407B-BB06-A0A6BE6BB190

#17I find 50 + 10 is a good approach for meetings and events over 2+ hours, like when you have multiple speakers or a workshop. That gives everyone a chance for a regular toilet or comfort break.

Indeed, I think it's temporary thing. I will add chatgpt moderation.
