@DanThomas and @iNik had some suggestions that got me started in the right direction here:
I’ve been wanting to integrate Bitbar with KM to do a Countdown timer, but I’m not sure what the best way to pull this off is. I think this could be really useful to people who want to Timebox their tasks and automatically advance from one thing to another in specific increments.
I built a simple Timebox solution while I was on an animation project. It forced me to work fast and push through all the frames. Once I went through the rough pass, I went back and cleaned things up. The timer control made things infinitely more do-able to meet a short deadline.
However, I would like to have the time remaining countdown somewhere visible, like the menu-bar.
Any suggestions?
