Pomodoro Timer
Authors: Agustin PĂ©rez Santangelo, Angel Escalante
Abstract: Shiny Pomodoro Timer is a time management tool with a neo-brutalist style.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that helps you break down tasks into manageable chunks to improve productivity and focus.
By default, after every Pomodoro cycle (iteration), there's a 5-minute break. Every four cycles lead us to a 15-minute break. However, the user can set all the time intervals by clicking the top-right corner button.
After a work cycle, the user will be rewarded for their hard work!
