For the longest time, I thought it would be really useful to have a timer that doesn't stop! Every single smart phone and wearabale device has a 'stopwatch' built in however after those 30 seconds end it's over.
What if I'm doing HIIT training and I want a countdown of 30 seconds on / 15 seconds off?
What if I'm planking and it's time to change position? Can't reset my watch because it's too awkward / it interrupts my workout
What if I'm doing an activity but I can't take a full '20 second' break because half of that time is fiddling with the device to continue my study streak?
With all these problems in mind I would've thought a solution would exist by now and yet here we are.
As an aspiring web developer, I can now stop complaining and provide my own solution to make life easier.
- have a UI to set a timer for my current activity
- have a start / stop button to control the timer
- have the timer repeat itself until I tell it to stop
- add aditional timers to build a 'circuit' allowing for more complex routines
- stop the timer and it will stop at it's current location in the 'circuit' until I tell it to resume (as opposed to restarting the circuit)
- have a counter showing me the number of completed 'circuits'
