This was the core motivation behind developing Pomoblocker.\n\nPomoBlocker is a Python GUI application built with Tkinter \u0026 [CustomTkinter](https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter). This application essentially combines the [Pomodoro productivity technique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique) with a website blocker. The website blocker works by adding inputted websites to the Windows hosts file.\n\n### Features\n\nUsers can...\n\n- set custom Pomodoro times for the three cycles (work period, short break period, long break period)\n- block websites during any of these three cycles\n- set preferred notification settings that notify them of a cycle ending\n\n### Features to implement in the future\n\n- [ ] Ability for users to login to save their custom settings using SQLite\n- [ ] Linux/Mac compatability\n- [ ] Block applications by editing the Windows registry\n\n### Personal challenges\n\nAs this was my first personal project, I faced many challenges developing this application. The main challenges included structuring the application (ensuring users \"progress\" smoothly through the app), user interface, and properly using OOP to organize GUI code/logic. This being said, developing an app from the ground up has helped a lot with my skills in these areas. Some solutions I used to overcome these blocks included hand drawing multiple possible user interfaces, studying existing OOP code behind GUIs, and writing test cases for the app.\n\n### Sample screenshots\n\n- Settings - Add websites to block\n\n\u003cimg src=\"/res/sc/settings_sc2.png\" width = 500\u003e\n\n- Settings - Set custom times for each cycle\n\n\u003cimg src=\"/res/sc/settings_sc1.png\" width = 500\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fparxd%2Fpomoblocker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fparxd%2Fpomoblocker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fparxd%2Fpomoblocker/lists"}
