Node Timer: Keep track of your focus time
Node Timer is a simple little timer designed to keep you focused. If you're using the Pomodoro Technique you should check it out. You can enter in a short description of what you're working on and how long you're planning on working on it and a timer will count down until you are finished. Node Timer will keep a log of what you're working on and you can use #hash #tags to track how often you're working on your most important projects.

Signing to try it is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

I signed up, but it needs more examples. I don't use Twitter much, so it's not intuitively obvious to me how to use the hash tags, or exactly how they'll be used to create metrics.

I like minimalism as much as the next person, but this really needs an About page.

I would really like to know more about this, but I'm not going to randomly sign up to find out.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I updated the home page to show some examples and screen shots. I'm also working on a way to log in through facebook, twitter, etc so you don't have to go through yet another sign up form.

Thanks for adding the information and screen shots, that was all it took to get me signed up.

I've been using it as a kitchen timer. Hope that's OK.
