Nice timer, though. Find a real way to motivate the user without abuse and it'd be even cooler.
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!
It felt pretty natural to me. We've been entering text in a box and pressing enter after we are done for decades.
Fantastic. I just stuck on some metal and got some shit done for 25 minutes, although I was a little disappointed when nothing happened at 00:00. :(
It should have some kind of :D emoticon and a question along the lines of "So what's next?"
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.
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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If enough people use this, we have plans to include additional logic to it (database, etc.) to make it more collaborative - definitely stay tuned if you like it and give us more feedback on what you would like to see!
You could achieve this entirely statelessly (i.e. without a database) by encoding the task name in the URL. This is the sort of feature that could fuel growth by encouraging sharing :)

I know I'm wrong, I just described my dozy error caused by what I perceived to be an anti-pattern.
I like it! I think the progress indicator in the title needs some rounding love, however: document.title = (100 * time / totaltime).toFixed(1) + "%";
You might want to round() first, though:

Now all we are missing is a lengthy discussion here on HN about how to get things done properly.
