🎉⏱🍅 Hello everyone! Most timers have annoying sounds, and is a pain to use. I needed an intuitive focus timer to bring me into flow and motivate me to take breaks. So I made FocusMonkey. It is a Pomodoro Timer and Music Player in one. It connects to your Spotify. FocusMonkey automatically plays high-quality focus music in sync with the pomodoro timer. It plays a sound and some other fun music when you are done. As humans, need some encouragement for focus, and rewards after a good session seems like a good idea. What better way is it than getting an applause 👏 and "We are the champions" after 45 minutes of deep work? Let me know if you have any questions or ideas!

Quick question about security...looks like the key is being passed in the url, any plans to harden the app? Great work, love the idea and execution...

@robertcedwards Hi, I'm using the Authorization Code Flow method described here: https://developer.spotify.com/do.... This flow passes an access token and refresh token to the client as url hash params (focusmonkey.io#access_token=12345&refresh_token=12345). The access_token expires really quickly, and the refresh token is not usable for anyone else. New access tokens are generated by sending the refresh token from the client to the server (server has a secret key), and receiving new access token.

Really like the design of the website. It’s also inspiring to se the box get filled in while the time passes. A nice solution 🍀
