timetracker2

Rewrite of my timetracker code for WMII so that it also works with YABAI. This project serves two use cases - track time - manage tasks (switch to next task if you get stuck) Eg you can block a task for 12h or 2days and it will not show up again

GETTING STARTED

gem install chronic sqlite3

for Ubersicht integration

gem install em-websocket concurrent-ruby concurrent-ruby-edge

ROADMAP/WARNING

Refactoring is not complete, so there will be some dead code laying around still

[ ] YABAI related [ ] YABAI -> support multiple displays properly [ ] YABAI -> replace signals with stdout stream [ ] YABAI fix what gets into my way such as [ ] selecting windows on other display by --focus east/west which currently doesn't work [ ] ubersicht -> show current ttspace title Thus make this ruby script have a Network socket

[ ] YABAI Understand how to use timetracking and multiple displays ?
    [ ] always switch all displays (simple)
    [ ] always switch current display *AND* track this keeping the other untouched

    space_created event, does it follow order of creation? Could a
    $DISPLAY_NR parameter be added eventually ?

[ ] WMII document version which works is MODKEY-t builtin ? its commented in my config to switch views

[ ] document blocked implementations etc

def reloadable_blocked_custom(o)
    # return true to block
  puts o[:name]

  hash = o[:hash]
  now = o[:now]
  weekday = o[:now].strftime('%u').to_i
  weekend = weekday > 5
  morning = now.hour < 10 and now.hour > 6
  daytime = now.hour < 18
  return true if hash[:name] =~ /morning/ and not morning
  return true if hash[:name] =~ /^low_prio$/ and now.hour < 17
  return true if hash[:'low-prio'] and now.hour < 17
  false
end

[ ] eventually change task list to nested list or connect to online services

[ ] Just logging everything to /tmp/ might not be smartest idea. Might still take a while till it starts mattering. Restarting timetracker2 is easy

[ ] Fix resource consumption / language choice? Yes Ruby takes more memory than neccessary, but for protoyping and stabilize seems to be a good choice Could be rewritten in Crystal easily Rust felt like bloat and slowing me down JS/TS eventually might have been a nice choice, too If I had written from scratch I eventually would have chosen TS

TASKS DEFINITION

The tasks file is human editable YAML file. So you can easily use editor or scripts to change order. Most important tasks should be put first cause they will be focused to first

DATA_TIMETRACKER = "/x"

/x/work_views (YAML FILE

• :name: task1 limit-day-min: 10
• :name: task2 blocked-till: '2024-07-31T12:32:01+02:00'

Some features such as limit-day-min are broken at the moment In the end it's ruby code fix as you like

SHELL SETUP

~/.zshrc
# timetracker2
tt(){ echo "$@" | socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/timetracker-socket STDIO; }
tti(){ tt insert "$@"; }
tta(){ tt append "$@"; }
ttb(){ tt "block-for $@"; exit; }
ttbb() { tt block-by "$@"; }

# st done
st(){
  tt "st_$1${2:+ }$2";
  [ "$1" = 'done' ] && exit 0
}
ttd(){ st_done; }
# wait for shell command finish
# currently broken
ttc(){
  local tmp
  local code
  # tmp="$(tempfile)"
  tmp=/tmp/$RANDOM$RANDOM$RANDOM$RANDOM
  touch "$tmp"
  tt block-while-file-exists "$tmp"

  rm $tmp
  return $code

OSX YABAI setup

./config.rb $YABAI_CHOOSER_PATH=".."

~/.skhdrc # next task cmd + shift - n : /bin/sh -c 'echo "next" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/timetracker-socket' cmd - b : /bin/sh -c 'echo "previous" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/timetracker-socket' cmd + shift - b : /bin/sh -c 'echo "previous 2" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/timetracker-socket' cmd - p : /bin/sh -c 'echo "ttspace_switcher" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/timetracker-socket' cmd + shift - p : /bin/sh -c 'echo "goto_ttspace pause" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/timetracker-socket'

~/.yabairc As soon as the script is started lines like this will get added Not all are used yet so may it can be cleaned up yabai -m -signal --add event=application_launched action='echo application_launched $YABAI_PROCESS_ID >> /tmp/yabai-signals'
