Now all we are missing is a lengthy discussion here on HN about how to get things done properly.
Now.. all we are saying, is JFDIN.
Properly can come later.

#52A 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.
You are offended? Then don't use the website. It is not your right to not be offended. I think the swearing is brilliant.
You think the swearing itself is brilliant? I can see 'okay', or 'funny', but 'brilliant'?

#53Finally, a timer.
On the Internet.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
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 :)
That's more what I was going for -- a nice, short URL I can send to someone.
What happens after you send it to your coworkers? Would you want to track whether your coworker gives up?

#55I need to see lists of tasks on which I fucked up and the ones I completed. Basically, I need to track my progress. And yes, customized timer obviously. p.s. : More profanity will be appreciated, maybe customize option for that too.
Interesting... maybe we can even chart out for you the average number of f* ups vs success and do some data mining on this and suggest change (with more profanity).

#56So many tender souls that are awfully offended by someone using a bad word on the internet. The horror.
Probably less "offended" and more "unimpressed."

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.
There's a world of difference between "I fucking hate Javascript" and "Fuck you."

#58It's a nice timer, but this recent casualization of the word 'fuck' is irritating, and I don't care to support it. It was in a ton of the blog headlines posted on this very site last year, and all it does is detract from the power of the word, while doing nothing to add an edge to your project. Sorry. Nice timer, though. Find a real way to motivate the user without abuse and it'd be even cooler.
all it does is detract from the power of the word
Isn't that a good thing?

Oh no. People are swearing! Woman, cover your ankles, you're inflaming my sexual ardour!
Assuming that the other parties are offended by the cursing is the common response to these criticisms. I don't think anyone is saying that they're actually bothered by it, but rather that pointless cursing like this is formulaic, worn-out, and generally lame.
