I spent 2 months building a timer app because I couldn’t focus
For a long time, I had this project idea in my head, but honestly, I didn’t think I had enough knowledge to build it on my own. I first started the journey with Antigravity. Everything seemed to be going well at first, but then the project completely broke at some point.
So I decided to take a more structured approach. I started pushing regularly to GitHub and continued building the project with Codex. Step by step, I managed to turn it into an actual working app.
After around 2 months of development, I also went through Google’s testing process, and today my first app finally went live.
To most people, it might look like a simple timer app from the outside. But during the process, I added, removed, rebuilt, and changed a lot of things before it reached its current version.
The goal of the app is to make focusing more fun by turning it into a game.
You can use it on your own, or compete with your friends. As you stay focused and track your time, you can progress, rank up, and make focusing feel a bit more motivating.
Also, the database side gave me a lot of pain.
I’m not very familiar with Reddit yet, but if anyone wants to check it out or support the project, I can share the link
