Some ideas for future improvements

Hey, I left you a message on buy me a coffee, but I wanted to paste most of it here because it might be useful for you in terms of possible feature ideas

Love your productivity timer!!!

I had been thinking about making something similar, but related to tasks. Basically, being able to set a schedule for the day (maybe imported from calendar), with a duration for each work block (which could be imported as a task with a start and end time). Then basically the timer would show me how far through that task I am, what % of time is done, how much buffer time I have if I need to go over, how much total time I'm over on my estimates, etc. In real time, but also available as historical stats

The goal would be to:

  1. Keep me on task
  2. Keep me aware of time and make sure I don't go off on a long unrelated task, because I can see how much/little time I have left
  3. Helps me to plan estimates better in the future (if I can see how much over I typically go)

And more

Just sharing this in case it's interesting to you - absolutely no expectation that you'll work on any of this

I'd like to say I'd be happy to help out, but in practice I am super busy at the moment. But maybe I could do something here or there

Anyway, thanks so much for the incredible work - it's seriously a great app :)
