A cross-platform timer built on Electron for doing Mob Programming
Run npm install
to get the dependencies, then npm start
to run the timer.
Run npm test
to start the unit tests, or npm run integration_test
to run integration tests.
Run npm run build
to create the app.
Platform specific packages will be placed in the dist
directory.
If you need a platform other than Mac or Windows, modify the build script in the package.json
file.
Pluralsight has a development team that does mob programming full-time, and a few other teams dabble in mobbing as well. We have tried and enjoyed a number of other mob timers, but we had various (mostly minor) gripes with them. So we decided to build one of our own.
We had a few goals:
- Make a timer that is hard to ignore, but also not overly annoying
- Implement escalating alerts
- Customization
- Have a timer that we can easily hack on, built with tech we know
