Tomaat

An electron app written in ClojureScript. Integrates with Slack to let people know you are doing great things! Uses reagent for the UI.

Features

• 25 minute pomodoro timer
• Update Slack profile with tomato while pom is in progress
• Send a Slack notification when pomodoro is complete
• Pause Slack notifications while pomodoro is running
• Play a sound when time is up (useful if Slack is not configured)
• Timer visible in tray!

Slack usage is optional, but if configured - your profile will be updated like so:

Tomaat currently relies on legacy-tokens to facilitate a simple text field entry of a slack token. Some day when the sun goes out and Slack deprecates these, then we will look into building a view for authentication.

Development

Tomaat uses lein-figwheel for hot reloading of all source files. Since Tomaat leverages electron apis across the board - all builds target :nodejs.

To start development process:

$ lein start
$ lein electron

Note: figwheel requires the ws node module for node targets. I opted to install this globally:

$ npm install -g ws

Project structure

All source files are under src/tomaat, and several build targets are laid out in project.clj. Tomaat follows a structure that allows for the main electron process, a renderer process, and a worker process.

The worker process runs as an invisible window for the purpose of running the timer, persisting config, and interacting with slack.

Building

Tomaat is packaged using electron-packager. It has currently only been built and tested on macOS.

Just use make to build Tomaat.

$ make

Todo

• webview for fetching slack token
• test and build for other operating systems
