I've been following the challenges on Scotch.io for awhile and saw one that I was really interesting in trying to make. It was a Pomodoro timer for...

Hey Tori. Great post! I loved the way you described the steps for achieving the final implementation, you explained it in a clear and simple way :)
Just a tiny detail that I noticed in your code was that you are not really clearing the interval when you click the reset button. That results in a weird interval between the seconds. Try to click the reset button then start the countdown again.
One way to solve that is to in fact clear the interval within the
timerResetfunction.Instead of
clearInterval( () => { this.interval; });you should have
clearInterval(this.interval);What do you think?
Hmm... I'll look into it because that's what I wanted to do (what you said). So if it's not doing that I'm unsure. Otherwise it get incrementally faster and that's now what we want at all. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks for the post Tori! After seeing you talk at CodeLand I feel like I'm reading it in your presentation style. Very clearly describe 👌
Thanks, I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I need to work on relaxing more when I present. 😌 But I want to be as descriptive as possible so I'm glad that came through.
Good thing! I thought your presentation I saw was clear and memorable. Everybody has a bit they need to work on but I really loved seeing you talk.
Great post, thanks for sharing.
There's a lot of interesting parts to something that sounds very simple.
Hi, I clicked on play it doesn't countdown ?
Did you click on the first codepen at the top? That one is just a layout they made so you could start on the coding mechanics. It does not work, the working one is at the very bottom.
OK thanks, I used first one :)
By the way was interested by your pomodoro as I also made one in red ;) myminiapps.space/countdown/
Hey, there is an issue with your timer. If you quickly click on start, reset, start reset about 5 or six times then the last time the timer will go nuts and almost countdown at triple speed
Interesting, odd usage (wildly clicking buttons) but I'm game to figuring this out. Sounds like maybe a reset button problem.
Finding use and abuse cases are part of the game
Love this, been needing a good linux timerfor countdown and countup. Was in the same place lol. How the heck do I start. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
No problem. I didn't understand how complex a timer/countdown could be.
This don't work in main codepen link
You mean the first pen?
My bad... sorry it's work fine, you did this template to begin the tutorial
Great post, Tori & great break down of your project. We did this in class this week and it’s empowering to read & understanding what you did in your code. Great job all the way around!
No tests?
Never done them. I'm self taught and that's a section I haven't gotten to yet. I feel it would be easy to be taught later. If you've got some insight do let me know, I'm quite curious.
