Inspiration
I have always found it extremely annoying that I (and many other people) lose track of time while using their computer and forget that their eyes need to take some rest. Which is why I have developed this website!
What it does
The user will set the amount of time they want to use their computer before a break. After the set time interval, the user will be notified to take a break.
How it was built
HTML was used for structure, CSS to make it look presentable, and JavaScript for the timer and the main alert feature!
Challenges we ran into
At first I wanted to make it into a Chrome extension, however I ran into some issues which were taking a lot of time to be resolved. I also tried to use the Notifications API instead however I ran into problems with that as well. Thus, at the end, I settled with an alert system.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It makes a sound when the time is up!
What we learned
-Implementing an alert sound -Making a Chrome extension (to some extent)
What's next for Take A Break!
I shall try to make the Chrome extension and I might try to make it into a mobile and/or desktop app!
