A Chrome extension that helps writers get things done by managing their time, measuring their productivity, and avoiding distractions.
- Track raw output (words per minute) on browser-based text editors, like Google Docs
- Customize a "greylist", to identify the sources of your largest distractions
- Graph your productivity over time to find hours, weeks, or months when you aren't getting as much done
- Schedule work and break periods to minimize fatigue
- Chrome notifications let you know when it's time for a stretch or time to focus in
- ...and even more features coming soon!
Our presentation on the project can be seen here:
git clone https://github.com/dgodow/bisque
npm install
npm start
Open Chrome's extensions panel and click Load unpacked extension.... Browse to your Bisque directory, highlight the build folder and press Select. Click on the lobster claw-shaped app icon to login via Google.
Now you're all set! Set your timers and greylists then get to work: flesh out your dissertation, finish that report or begin writing the Great American Novel!
For development purposes, Bisque's timer is currently running at 10-20 times speed.
