React, Tailwind CSS, Electron, Figma

Overview

I programmed a gamified Pomodor Timer with shop mechanisms, coin logic, and session tracking using React, Tailwind CSS, Electron, and Figma.

Design

  • Built all user interfaces and interactive prototypes in Figma

  • Illustrated and animated custom pixel-art graphics on Procreate

Programming

  • Coded a cross-platform desktop application using React, Tailwind CSS, and Electron through VS Code

  • Implemented state management including coin-earning logic, session tracking, and a dynamic shop system

Problem

Traditional Pomodoro timers lack the long-term incentives needed to maintain user consistency

Design

On Figma, I designed a cohesive visual layout, prioritizing a simple user flow

Programming

I chose to use Electron because productivity tools are often more effective when they are outside of the browser

Using Electron allowed me to create a desktop experience from usual web-based interactions, making sure that this productivity tool felt integrated into a user's daily workspace.

Takeaways

Was a fun front-end project to both code and design as someone who loves productivity tools :)

I gained a lot of experience in translating Figma designs and animations into React components. Building the shop logic allowed me to prioritize user engagement, using rewarding micro-interactions to boost productivity and motivation for the users.
