  • Tested, browsed to another tab, switched to another app, turned off screen. Are there any limitations compared to a native app?

    It needs an example of nested loop and skipping last item, with comments.

  • Oh that's pretty cool! I also like how you can bookmark timers to save them and then keep a list of them for various activities/purposes.

    Also when I saw the HN post I knew something was familiar and I remembered an old project of yours: x[it]!

    From time to time I still think about that one. Are you still engaging with x[it] or have you moved on in a sense?

  • Years ago, I wrote something similar but simpler and non-programmable using Pith (JS with Python-like syntax).

    https://gabrielsroka.github.io/webpages/pith.html

      cancel = false
  editor.style.display = 'none'
  debug.hide()
  btn = button('Stop', 'cancel=true id=stopBtn')
  bar.html(btn)
  beep = new Audio('beep.mp3')
  lock = await navigator.wakeLock.request('screen')
  stopBtn.style.fontSize = runProgram.style.fontSize = results.style.fontSize = '72px'
  
  wus = 'roll shoulders,arm circles,arm hugs,knee raises,rotate torso,rotate hips'
  wus = wus.split(',')
  
  sets = 'march in place,squat,push up,standing bicycle crunch,stand and box,split squat,push up,plank,jumping jacks,wall sit,push up,standing side crunch'
  sets = sets.split(',')
  
  cools = 'walk,hands up,hands forward,hands back,right leg,left leg,right hams,left hams,balance'
  cools = cools.split(',')
  
  await countdown('check volume.', 5, true)
  
  for wu in wus
    await countdown(wu, 12)
  
  await countdown('first up ' + sets[0])
  
  for set in range(sets.length)
    msg = (set + 1) + '. ' + sets[set]
    await countdown(msg, 30, true)
    if set < sets.length - 1
      await countdown('next up: ' + sets[set + 1])
  
  for cool in cools
    await countdown(cool, 15)
  
  results.html('done')
  lock.release()
  editor.style.display = ''
  
  async def countdown(msg, secs=5, play)
    for s in range(secs)
      results.html(msg + '<br>' + (secs - s))
      if play && secs - s <= 3
        beep.play()
      if cancel
        break
      await sleep(1000)

  • My first reaction to this before clicking the link: why would anyone want a programmable timer?

    After clicking the link and seeing the demo: man, I’ve always wanted a programmable timer.

    This is awesome, can see myself using this for workouts and focus sessions. Thank you for sharing.
