This is neat. I like how unobtrusive it is compared to most things like pomodoro timers that have big numbers changing every second.

Is there a way to get the full progress bar to hide (without quitting the app) once I'm done with a timer, but am not yet ready to start another?

That's the Erlang "observer". You can launch it from an iex (elixir) console as simply as: `:observer.start` and see your currently running process. It's super powerful for seeing the state and organization of your current application (though a little ugly). It can also be used to monitor remote nodes easily, kill processes, view state, see application load, etc.

Works great, thanks!

Looks interesting. I tried to find an RSS feed for the site to add it to my newsreader, but didn't see anything. Is there an RSS feed link somewhere that I can use?

Ok, yes, I agree with that clarification (and I missed that you specified in your original comment "uncommitted work", my mistake).

If you git reset --hard and you have a dirty working directory, you can absolutely blow work away. That's one of the main reasons to use git reset --hard, but I agree that it needs to be used with intention.

The easiest way to protect against it is to never use it if you have a dirty working directory, always commit first and then reset --hard after you've committed.

I think it's even better than this. A family doesn't need one car, it needs zero cars, it just needs to be able to use one or more cars on demand.

The average family uses their car probably less than 10% of the time. The rest of that time could be used by others.

Once self-driving cars are ubiquitous, I expect that an Uber-like service will be the norm. You either subscribe or rent per trip and schedule when and where you want to be picked up.

The service you subscribe to has a fleet of cars and knows when people want to be picked up and where they want to be dropped off, as well as whether you're willing to carpool on the way (for a discount). They can optimize the scheduling of their fleet in the same way that FedEx and UPS optimize their driving routes now.

The future is going to feel a little strange and I can't wait.

I switched methods and used GIFBrewery and was able to generate a better gif (I think). I'd be interested to hear if this one is easier to understand. Thanks!

I agree with both of you that the playback is too fast. I tried to get it slower a number of times, but the compression phase seems to take out some of the pauses...

I'll take another look to see if there's anything that I can do with the gif creation process I have.

If anyone has suggestions for gif recorders that give you control at this level, I'd love to know about it.

Thanks for the feedback danjessen. I'm struggling a little bit with fully internationalized shortcuts though. I don't have a great understanding about what non-chorded keys the keyboards of the world have available and it feels like just about any key combination won't be natively available for everyone. Hopefully the ability to remap via the config is easy and clear enough that it's not too much trouble.
