PomodoroBot

Inspiration

As someone who often struggles with staying focused, I've tried countless methods to help my productivity and eventually came across the Pomodoro technique and have used this technique as inspiration with some customization.

What it does

This bot allows users to customize study and break times through simple commands on Discord to aid productivity.

How we built it

I utilized Python to build this bot as well as the Discord Developer Portal.

Challenges we ran into

Creating a timer to track how much time has elapsed was the most difficult part of this process but through some research of Discord and Python API I was able to figure an appropriate solution.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As someone with very little practical coding experience, I am proud that I was able to create this bot in a short amount of time and push myself to learn as much as I could. Had it not been for participating in a hackathon I would have never imagined being able to create something that others could find useful. Going forward I hope to continue to code and make more projects!

What we learned

I gained more experience with Python and Discord and hopefully, with this knowledge, I will be able to improve the bot to aid the user.

What's next for PomodoroBot

Further improvements to the PomodoroBot will be customized profiles for each individual using the bot such that any person can initialize the bot for them and their friends.
