RedTick
=======
## What
This package provides a little pomodoro timer in the mode-line.
## How
* Use `(require 'redtick)`. After requiring, it shows a little red tick (✓) in the mode-line. When
you click on it, it starts a pomodoro timer. The pomodoro description is set using current-buffer and which-function.
* You can launch a pomodoro by M-x redtick, or M-x redtick-with-description (manual description).
It only shows the timer in the selected window (a moving timer
replicated in each window is a little bit distracting!).
## Why
I thought about this, after seeing the [spinner.el package](https://github.com/Malabarba/spinner.el).
## Elisp
I tried to make it efficient:
- It uses an elisp timer to program the next modification of the
pomodoro timer.
- Only works when the mode-line is changed.
## Thanks to
* Malabarba, for the spinner and smart-mode-line packages.
* abo-abo, for asking how to check if the current window is selected from
inside the mode-line, and Drew for answering it.
* purcell at melpa, for reviewing the code.
* wellons at nullprogram.com, for the code used to save and restore lisp data.
* Alexani, for the sound of a [pocketwatch ticking](https://www.freesound.org/people/Alexsani/sounds/117280/) found at 'freesound.org'.
* unfa, for the sound of a [clock making a perfect 10-second loop](https://www.freesound.org/people/unfa/sounds/154906/) (cut to make a 2-second loop) found at 'freesound.org'.
* Jeremy Seitz, for the *fantastic* :notes: sounds that he created with a Nord Modular synthesizer, [published in 2007 in his blog](http://www.fozworks.com/blog/2007/07/28/autotest-sound-effects/), and that I've been using since then when autotesting in Ruby.
* [Carlo Zancanaro](https://github.com/czan) for cleaning the main loop using hooks.
