Mindfulness at the computer:

Closed Sprint 2023-06-16

https://codeberg.org/fswb/mindfulness-at-the-computer/projects/3180

The focus set when starting the sprint was:

Rewrite user stories (user reqs). Finalize analysis of design from iteration 6. Create new design(s) in iteration 7. Update project to be compatible with new FSWB dev process

What has been done

Cleaned up user stories (user reqs) by removing the specific requirement about seeing stats with pauses etc. This was done since the analysis of the iteration-6 design showed that these stats didn't add anything important. Also updated the FSWB dev-process with insights from MatC and vice versa

Created new design (iteration 7) and a hi-fi prototype for this design


New design

  1. small-bell
  2. big bell. new type of breathing GUI shown: static and dynamic. it shows
    • a progress bar with double purpose (time until closing and breathing guide)
    • br phrase
    • close button?
    • stats?? like the amount of time spent at the computer
    • break button??? (would show fullscreen window)
  3. user can interact with the custom dlg or not
    • static: dialog is closed when the timer ends
    • dynamic: dialog is closed when the user hovers outside, or clicks on the dialog

Mindfulness at the computer:

Closed sprint 2023-06-02 (extended to two weeks)

https://codeberg.org/fswb/mindfulness-at-the-computer/projects/3180

Hi-fi prototype created
* Ask user to relax and let go of the computer keyboard and mouse, and sounding bell after a period of inactivity
* Stats for breaks and work sessions. Example: [12:34] 5m 4m 5m (3m) Explanation: [time of application start] work period 1, 2, 3 (break period)
* Redesign of the timer system, now using a state and a single unified timer
* Implementing fading out (transparency) when hovering outside of the breathing area for the break fullscreen window and using this to close the window

If anyone is interested in trying this prototype i can create a pypi package

Other:
* WIP: Creating a taxonomy for programming variable names, and for users
https://codeberg.org/fswb/mindfulness-at-the-computer/issues/540
* Fixed bug in the idleness system
