Suggestion: state the end time always in the start message (e.g. ends at `:07`)
I want to suggest as a change that Sprinto always states the end time always in the start message, e.g. "ends at :07". My discord notifications are set to somewhat unobtrusive because otherwise I would constantly get ripped out of creative moments by mentions, but that means I simply miss the sprint end notification quite often.
As a result, I write down the end time in a large window on-screen that I put on the side and just manually check the clock in the system tray - except Sprinto, most of the time, doesn't show that end time. This means I need to calculate it in my head, and well, sometimes I just get it wrong. Also it's annoying. So it would be very helpful if the start message consistently said not only "sprint for X minutes" but also "until :XX" for the end time. I don't want to spam _time either and end up annoying everyone.
Hi Ellie,
I've been on the fence about whether to always show it by default, so I made it only when it's near an exact minute, but there's a setting to make it always show.
You / an admin can turn it on permanently for a channel with:
_setWallTime on
Happy sprinting!
(In future I might get it to show the finish time in your local time zone cause that's a thing in Discord now but I haven't got around to that yet)
Not sure people wouldn't be upset if I mess with their sprinto settings though? I think it should always be shown, I don't get why it wouldn't be. If it's not near an exact minute I'd suggest to just round down (so people if in doubt check in early).
If it's not your server you'll have to ask the owner (or an admin) to change the setting in the sprint channel(s) with _setWallTime on. Just let them know the reasons you've given me. Hopefully shouldn't be a big deal!
I sprint in 5+ servers (because it's hard to find any single one that is active a lot) so that'd be very inconvenient. Why isn't it just enabled by default?
