Pomodoing: even code needs a break!

In the bustling world of software development, staying focused and productive is key. To help developers maintain a balance between intense work sessions and well-deserved breaks, I embarked on a journey to create Pomodoing, a Visual Studio Code extension based on the Pomodoro Technique.

Pomodoing seamlessly integrates a Pomodoro Timer directly into your VS Code environment, ensuring you can manage your time effectively without leaving your favorite IDE. Whether you're deep in coding or taking a breather, Pomodoing keeps you in control.

1. Start Timer: Initiate your Pomodoro session with a single click.

2. Pause Timer: Pause and resume your timer at any point, preserving your progress.

3. Configuration: Customize break durations, work times, and other settings to tailor Pomodoing to your workflow.

Getting started with Pomodoing is straightforward:

1. Open VS Code and navigate to the Extensions view.

2. Search for "Pomodoing" and click Install.

3. Reload VS Code to activate the extension.

Once installed, Pomodoing becomes your companion in productivity:

- Start/Resume: Use the command palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P`) and type "Pomodoing: Start/Resume" to begin your Pomodoro session.

- Timer Status: Monitor your current timer state directly in the VS Code status bar.

Enhance your Pomodoro experience with these commands:

- Pause: Pause the current timer session.

- Reset: Reset the timer and start a new Pomodoro session.

- Work: The timer runs, signaling focused work time.

- Pause: The timer is paused, indicating break time.

To use Pomodoing, ensure you have:

- Visual Studio Code installed.

Pomodoing offers extensive customization options:

- Duration Settings: Adjust Pomodoro, short break, and long break durations.

- Notification: Choose whether to receive notifications upon timer completion.

- Label Customization: Personalize labels for different timer states.

While Pomodoing enhances productivity, it may require additional controls from the editor's top bar for smoother interaction.
