Ability to display one of many saved messages during break.

Open ALI3NPANDA opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

As of now, Only a single line of text is displayed in the break. It would be much better if a random message from an array of texts are displayed during each break. Also, users must have an option to input manual texts.

Need an option for a long break as well as for a short break.

Loved the app, hope it releases in some major stores. ❤️

I support this request. There is a Linux project named SafeEyes which uses an array of messages which is located in this file. The messages asks you:

In the short breaks:

  • Tightly close your eyes
  • Roll your eyes a few times to each side
  • Rotate your eyes in clockwise direction
  • Rotate your eyes in counterclockwise direction
  • Blink your eyes
  • Focus on a point in the far distance
  • Have some water

In the long breaks:

  • Walk for a while
  • Lean back at your seat and relax

It also displays a small text with some "health statistics" which is about for instance how many breaks that have been skipped.

It would be very helpful with a function that implements this, or as @ALI3NPANDA mentioned, lets the user add an array of text.

Cheers!

I'd also love to see different messages during each pause. Thanks!

FYI, https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly also supports this and has a larger list of defaults but like SafeEyes is customizable. It's very nice. I'm currently comparing the various options.
