A few thoughts: 1. Great idea! I use Pomodoro a lot, and find it really helpful. 2. Honestly, I'm offending at the word Fuck and Shit, and I would never use a product that was swearing at me.

Point noted. During our brainstorming, we were trying to strike a balance between snarky and nice and thought to just post it up to see what people thought and iterate ;)

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!

Also, it'd be good if there would be a way to start a new task after clicking "I give up"!

Funny idea for a pomodoro timer!

You must struggle to surf generally, in that case, without being offended. There are plenty of profanity blockers like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-profanity-f....

Surely, it makes more sense to install one, objecting to every occurrence of swearing is going to take up a lot of your time.

LOL. We intentionally wanted to make the user feel like he/she is hopeless if he/she were to press "I give up" - ending it with a middle finger.

Game over.

You are offended? Then don't use the website. It is not your right to not be offended.

I think the swearing is brilliant.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Cool! If people use this, we have a v2 which has some geeky 8-bit stuff.

No lie, geeky 8-bit stuff would probably win me over instantly.

Sneak preview:

(Drafted) consequences: Someone will die -> you will see a 8-bit character running towards you with a gun My girlfriend is going to leave me -> 8-bit girl running away from 8-bit boy I will start hurting myself -> 8-bit you carrying a knife...
