That battle has been lost. I've header about pomodoros for years and not once about a shitty copyright holder. It's generic now, thank you.

Interesting. Time to create that Pomodoro app I've always wanted to do.

Hi, Pavel Zhovner here, Flipper Devices CEO. Yes it's our product, but it's not ready for announcement yet, so we keep it secret. Right now, we are working on implementing Matter smart home protocol and will slightly change the product concept.

Put a CO2 + temp/humidity sensor in there and it's a no-brainer. The sensors could be nice to hack on too.

with matter support that could just well integrate with the rest of home automation. There is a lack of devices with big nice dials for that.

+1 CO2/PM2.5

Is there any message from the Flipper Zero people that this is actually their CEO? :)

No need, the user profile (cryptographically) links to their keybase profiles which corroborates the identity. The future is here! :)

And... How do we know the key base profile is correct?

This reminds me of my first job in London looking after the network of a recruitment agency. The consultants got headsets for the first time and one got so annoyed about being interrupted when on a call - because you couldn't tell when people were wearing headsets the whole time - that she taped a big bit of card to the top of her headset saying "ON A CALL" that she could flip up and down depending on whether she was…

Our old Plantronics phone headsets had a TRS jack which would connect to an optional status light. It would light up when the headset was on a call. https://www.headsetsdirect.com/product/poly-busy-light-strai...

My old company used these more recently: https://busylight.com/

Separate of the product itself...I have to compliment whoever designed the landing page! I'm not a UX/UI/page design expert, but here is what i experience: * the page loads quick - without overlays, distractions, etc. the page gets to the point, and fast * immediately i see a description of what the product is...this might sound funny, but tons of product sites lack this most basic thing! * In addition, the very brie…

This site is extremely broken by default, completely unreadable:

https://imgur.com/a/9g1dGxp (default 100% zoom level)

It is totally defective in 100% zoom, I need to manually zoom to 90% to make it be usable/as designed.

It seems to activate cell phone mode for laptop screens.

Edit: I don't get why people are downvoting this (-4 and counting). I enter the site and it is broken, until I change to a non-default zoom level. Valuable feedback IMO

For the lazy:

“The main idea is to tell people to ‘F—— off for 15 minutes’ before they get to interrupt you.”

Here is how Keybase works: https://book.keybase.io/docs/server

Then take a look at the HN profile, which leads you to the Keybase profile.

Is there any message from the Flipper Zero people that this is actually their device? It’s not mentioned on https://www.flipperdevices.com/ , neither on https://flipperzero.one/ or their Instagram? They have been plagued with peopling scamming people in their name before

Looks nice. We should have known from the way it looks that it is either you guys or Teenage Engineering.

I suffer from ADHD and the pomodoro timer part interests me. However, I am not sure if a pomodoro timer would help me. And $200 is an expensive gamble.
