16 hours agoFair point. This one started as a personal experiment, not a stance. I’m mainly trying to understand whether the pushback is more about ethics, practicality, or just Fediverse culture.

Makes sense. For me this project is more of an experiment than a statement. I’m mainly trying to understand which part matters most here — the closed‑source bit, the Gumroad dependency, or the general expectation of openness. PWYW seems to fit well, so I’m curious where the real boundary is for small indie tools.
1·4 days agoYeah, intentional — I wiped my old GitHub and started fresh for new projects. Files are distributed as PWYW 0$+, so default “all rights reserved” for now.
Yeah, for me it’s just a local, minimal tool for longer tasks like coding or app design. Nothing cloud‑based, nothing fancy.
That’s a cool approach. MPomidoro is simpler — for me it’s meant for longer tasks like coding or app design, so I kept it minimal: fixed work interval + fixed break, no adaptive logic. app.flowmo.io is more for multitasking I see.
Yeah, it’s a pretty simple time‑management method — short focused work blocks with breaks in between. I just wanted a minimal version of it that works in the terminal.
It prints the stage transitions, but the actual countdown runs in the terminal as MM:SS. When a work or break interval finishes, it marks the line in green so it’s easy to spot.
2·4 days agoStarting is usually the hardest part for me. Curious what helps you get going — especially if you also prefer simple tools over big apps.
For anyone wondering how a session looks, here’s a small example:
Title: Plan the weekly tasks Work interval time in Minutes: 15 Break interval time in Minutes: 5 Intervals Count: 3Pomidoro Plan the weekly tasks 3 x 15min 5min WORK #1 15min BREAK #1 5min WORK #2 15min BREAK #2 5min WORK #3 15min BREAK #3 5min Conclusions: This session helped me organize my thoughts.The tool asks for a short conclusion at the end — I found that part surprisingly helpful for wrapping up a session.
Yeah, I agree — federation doesn’t really apply here. I was asking more about expectations around distribution in a decentralized space, not about federating a storefront. Just trying to see where people draw the line for small indie tools.
