Show HN: Accountability layer for Pomodoro – join a focus session in under 60s

I kept failing at Pomodoro after week two. Solo sessions are easy to skip.

So I built Pomodobros, a browser-based paired Pomodoro timer.

You can:

- Join a public room or invite a buddy, timers stay in sync (25/5)

- Accountability without chat (silent presence, leave anytime)

- Streaks rank consistency, not hours (to avoid grindy incentives)

From landing to session in <60s

Login is optional (only needed for stats and community features)

Why this might be interesting to you: if timers work for you but you still drift, a second person’s timer on screen is a small commitment that nudges you to finish the block.

What I’d love feedback on:

- onboarding friction / “where do I click first?”

- whether pairing actually helps you finish more sessions than solo.
