The finna pomodoro project aims to bring a modern pomodoro implementation to your desktop.
The modern feature comes from a complete separation of the logic (backend) from the user interfaces. Did you ever wonder why you couldn't use different interfaces (cli commands associated with key bindings, guis, desktop notifications, web, deep integration within your desktop environment) to control the same pomodoro? With Finna Pomodoro, you can!
This repository will host the Finna Pomodoro Daemon. It's the application that handle the pomodoro logic and communication among the interested parties.
- Complete separation of the logic (backend) from the user interfaces.
- Backend written in C++11 using robust timing abstractions.
- Real-time pomodoro with robust numerical methods.
- A DBus-based protocol designed to minimize possible bugs in clients.
- Second-based precision on timeout requests to optimize battery life.
- Ninjas! No, just kidding, but the protocol is so well designed that allows flexible implementation by defining optional parts that would restrict implementers' creativity.
- DRM-free!
This daemon is written in C++11 and depends on the glibmm library. You'll also need CMake to build the project. For short, CMake is the meta-build system and is used to generate a build system that your platform supports.
D-Bus is used for communication. D-Bus is pretty much a central component in GNU/Linux nowadays and you'll likely find in any GNU/Linux system.
We strongly suggest you to ask packagers from your distribution to create an user-friendly and easy-to-install package. This section is aimed to more experienced users that wish to build from scratch (packagers and developers).
There are two types of building in CMake: in-source and shadow building.
In in-source mode, all intermediate files used to generate the final executable will be generated in the same folder of your source code, polluting the project. This mode is unrecommended if you plan to develop, but is fine for packagers.
In shadow building mode, all intermediate files used to generate the final executable will be generated in an isolated folder from the source code. To use this mode, just create a folder for the build and run cmake from there.
