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.

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.

I'm just giving honest feedback on the product: I think you're limiting the scope of the product by using words that offend some people. Given the upvotes, I don't think I'm alone.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

all it does is detract from the power of the word Isn't that a good thing?

Why would it be a good thing? It's not like it is such a bad thing that we must make it good at all costs. Some words are there to be used when they are needed.

Well, some call it reverse psychology. ✌

You think the swearing itself is brilliant? I can see 'okay', or 'funny', but ' brilliant '?

Given the nature of the website I think it suits perfectly. All too often I just need to "get shit done" and this mirrors these feelings perfectly. A similar website without this "feeling" would make little to no impact. I think the swearing is the message here. The site itself is very simple and anyone here can replicate it's functionality in minutes with a few lines of code. We all need a kick in the ass sometimes.

What can we say, except for JFDIN ✌

I love it! Please release an API for this! :D

What kind of return data would interest you?

Make Fucking Badass Just Fucking Do It Now API (FBJFDINAPI for short);

If I supply a string of text for a task, I need its ID.

Given an ID, I need the time remaining on the timer.

When the time reaches 0 on a given ID, I need a message to display to my users.

I 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).

It needs to source profanity from urbandictionary.com in an intelligent way relative to the race, gender, age, and sexual preference of my users... all of which will not be optional on my JFDIN app.

When I fail to do something within the allotted time - I would love to see:

    {
        "my_custom_task_name": {
            "task_id": 124575,
            "result": "FUCK_YOU",
            "reason": "Time limit void"
        }
    }
