    Hey HN, I’m Miguel, a frontend developer who built this extension as a side project to solve my own burnout issues.

    For years, I’ve been coding long hours without realizing how it was affecting my health. This tool is my way of staying productive without sacrificing well-being.

    To activate the extension, you can sign up on the website.

    How It Works:

    - Chrome's Storage API is used for storing user preferences locally.

    - React helps keep the UI modular and easy to maintain.

    - Chrome's Alarm API schedules break reminders to fit your schedule.

    Sign-Up Process:

    The sign-up is necessary to activate the extension, manage your preferences, and enable future features like streaks and synced activities.

    Questions:

    How do you currently manage breaks during coding sessions? Is the sign-up and activation process smooth enough? Would you find value in features like Pomodoro integrations or more advanced reminders?

    I’m here to answer any questions, so feel free to share your thoughts!
