Congratulation on your release, Jannis!
I used to use Workrave[1], but all I really need is almost provided by
the timeout-plugin.
Some idea's/suggestions:
- Detect inactivity (=no mouse/keyboard input) and pause the counter
after x seconds of inactivity.
- If it's time for a break and the user is still active, bug the user to
take a break or postpone it. x seconds of inactivity triggers the break
(minus the x seconds) (just like [2])
- Fix the build process so that we can compile it with the --as-needed
LDFLAG
- The icon in the panel is a document with an 'x' on it... (???)
- If you don't change the 'Time between breaks' setting, don't reset the
timer on closing the window
Cheers!
Harold.
