Web5 Tabata Timer

No ads. Open source. Personal use. No tracking. Free. No paywall. Own and share your workout data with a web5 based tabata timer.

Tabata timers are used for HIT excrcises. They give you short increments of exercies and rest. I use it quite a bit, but the one I use has a paywall after 2 routines and has a ton of ads. I don't want any of that.

This is a web5 based tabata timer.

What does web5 mean? Well, you'll own your data. Entirely. This means that you don't need to worry about us looking at it ever. This was mostly a fun project for myself, but I'll try to release it out the play store in the near future.

Disclosures

This was also a project for me to get to learn more about how front end works. The way react manages state, redux, etc, required me to come up the learning curve.

I'm sure that those more comfortable with front end might gouge out their eyes at some of the patterns. I will try to fix them.

Limitations

If you check out existing solutions, some of them have some toolbar that sits on the lockscreen. Unfortunately, due to the limits of a pwa, that's not possible for this app. We might be using the MediaSession API or I can toss notifications/push events, but that's where it falls short. I could make this react-native, but maybe another time.

Alternatives

• Tabata Timer: Interval Timer -- The main app on the app store. 5M+ downloads. This is hidden behind a paywall, has ads, is not open source. We can do better. It's farther along, and has been worked on longer, but I hope that in time this app is going to clearly be better than that app.

Clocks are Temporally Drifting

Clocks are drifting. Last workout I baselined it drifted ~20 seconds over the course of the workout.

Add Scheduler

Wouldn't it be nice to have a scheduler in your app. To notify you when you have a workout that you need to do?

Turning of screen in phone results in page to reload

If I open the app, turn it on, and then immediately put my phone to sleep, it logs out of the page which causes session data to be lost.
