Add ability to move time
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes I need to restart the pc in order to continue the job, then I need to start pomodoro from start again.
Describe the solution you'd like With a timer (youtube video bar like) I can continue the timer from where it was
the bar below the timer, can be clicked anywhere
Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative to the option above, is clicking inside a position of the timer circle:
in the image above for example, if you click where the red arrow is, the timer will go to that place!
It might make more sense to store the time in browser data. As long as the browser is properly closed and not force closed, it should remember the timestamp it starts at to resume when the app is re-opened. It would also resolve any issues if you have to close and re-open the app for any reason.
I feel making the time easily editable would make it too easy to accidentally alter it for the typical user.
I'm not using browser version, I'm using the standalone on linux!

this can be easily workaround asking "are you sure" to the user.
I would really like this feature. My pain point is I frequently forget to start the timer, and, by the time I notice, 5-10 minutes have already passed. Changing the config every time gets a little tedious.
I think the best solution would be a little knob on the timer circle. Dragging that knob would extend/shorten the time for this cycle. It doesn't have to be precise. This knob would appear only when the user is hovering over the circle, so accidental changes should be rare. Maybe only allow to drag the knob if the timer is paused?
Visually it would look similar to this (Forest app):
Currently looking into changing the underlying framework but this would be a good usability change.
Your example on how to reduce the mistakes would work pretty well as well as add a visual hint that it can be modified.
