Show HN: A minimalist web timer for focus and time tracking
iamlockedin.com
I would like to take this opportunity to share a little side project of mine called 't0'. It's an IRC-based timer! You can try it out by joining the #bitwise channel on Libera (https://web.libera.chat/#bitwise). If you're unfamiliar with IRC, there's a quick guide at https://bitwise.codeberg.page/ that shows how to join the channel and start using the timer.
More details on the project are here: https://github.com/susam/tzero
What I find most interesting isn't the timer itself, but how the community uses it. Following the channel activity helps me discover plenty of new and interesting reading and learning material, as members announce what they're reading/writing while triggering the timer.
I made it for time-boxing, so setting myself a time limit on multiple tasks to not get distracted and get things done.
I just made it to have a simple tool, so of course no monetization, local-only and minimal as well.
