TaskTXT helps you focus by timing your tasks, but in a background tab, you can forget a timer is even running and it's hard to see how much time is left.

I added timer to the page title to solve this. Here's some of the things that I considered while designing it:

[We Deserve Less @WeDeserveLess]

This always worked for text you type into TaskTXT, I just needed to find a way to make the browser recognize automatic updates of the text as if they were typed in manually.

[We Deserve Less @WeDeserveLess]

Just deployed an update to TaskTXT which enables undo for things like starting/stopping timers or marking tasks as complete.

It works because the app is based on text, and your browser already supports undo for text areas.

Re-sharing this video from last year. I think a lot of designers use these techniques, but they are rarely talked about.
