Looks super clean.
quantummint
Thanks! I aimed for a clean design, and I’m happy to hear that resonated with you.

How is this different or better than the thousands of others?

Agreed, cool product, but hope you don’t plan to monetize
quantummint
Thanks for the feedback! Monetization isn’t a focus right now—I just want to create something helpful and get user feedback.
quantummint
Great question! My focus was on creating a clean, minimalist app with notifications and cross-platform sync, all while ensuring it works without requiring an account.

In the future, I plan to add features like:

    Tracking work durations and visualizing task completion.
    
    Leveraging historical data to help users optimize their workflow.
Happy to hear any additional ideas on what could make it stand out more!

Nice. How are you doing cross-platform sync without an account?
quantummint
Without an account, sync is not possible.

Looks good, I appreciate that it's clean and simple, and that it works without requiring an account.

If you have nothing useful to say, why say it at all?

Looks really nice and I love the domain name, well done!

I see there isn't a privacy policy yet, what do you use the account sections for? Also, what is happening in the code comments, is the JS written by AI? For the branding - you're missing some tomatoes! Maybe as a favicon, or fa-tomato instead of fa-briefcase?

Thanks for noticing the domain name! The account section is currently not fully functional—currently, when logged in, it is intended for syncing configuration settings. Love the idea of using a tomato-themed favicon, I will do that!

Did you try loading this in your own browser and look at the console? I get one warning and five errors:

    * Cross-Origin Request Blocked.
    * None of the "sha512" hashes match the content.
    * Loading 3rd party javascript failed.
    * Another Cross-Origin Request Blocked.
    * Another sha512 hash fails to match.
    * Notification permission error

Do you have UBlock Origin/some other privacy extension installed? The CORS/SRI errors are from blocked Cloudflare and Plausible analytics scripts. I got the same and they went away when I temporarily disabled UBlock.

The notification permission error probably is a genuine bug

quantummint
Thanks for pointing that out—I’ll investigate these issues immediately and fix the errors. Really appreciate the detailed feedback!

Great work. I'm going to use it today. Suggestion: Could you please add a favicon so that the app is recognizable in a browser "pinned tab"?
quantummint
Thank you for trying it out today! Great suggestion about the favicon—I’ll make sure to add one soon to improve the browser tab recognition.

My LLM senses are tingling...

LLMs don't generally write the same way, and they usually don't use the em "—" character.

What's going on with Show HNs lately?

I knocked this one up using v0 (and yes, I did code "some" of it!) -> https://superpomodorotimer.com no intention to monetize, just thought it would be fun to see what v0 could do :-p
