I understand that this has very little relevance for a pomodoro app where the intent is to create a fictional atmosphere to help you focus, but with the mention of Middle Eastern music I was reminded of this (admittedly long) video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=LR511iAedYU
I mean he's not wrong, but why would I watch this nearly 2 hours narcissist orgy? Too much talking, too little music. This video is primarily about this dude making himself look good, which also seriously questions his credibility.
> A pluviophile is a person who loves rain and rainy days. It's someone who finds joy, peace, or comfort in the sight, sound, and atmosphere of rain. The term combines the Latin word "pluvia" (rain) with the suffix "-phile" (lover of).
> The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used while a university student.
intense use of emojis everywhere, rounded button styles, strangely upside-down and random particle effects; these are all things that claude/chatgpt/gemini start peppering in like crazy if any prompt for an app calls for 'flashy/fancy/impressive' -- so I have to say that the vibe coding thing was my first thought too (and not because of the wording).
still it looks great however it ended up getting made.
Really appreciate all the responses and ideas here. If you think someone else might enjoy it, feel free to share it around. Thanks for checking it out!
Actually "mop" is just a metaphor cooked up by the marketing department. Odoromap uses advanced catalytic technology to convert nasty odors to pleasant ones.
Is the music in the app "real" middle eastern music or not? What's an example of something real if not?

TIL, thank you lovegrenoble for bringing this adjective into my life. I always just said "Oh I don't mind the rain"...for years..
For shame, these are great tools...

For example, currently listening to these three:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trpcSJtvMxk
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCLrDKAv9Fw
There's a million different options out there and it's surprising what layers well.
Makes me wonder about the difference between "ambient cafe: Starbucks" vs "ambient cafe: somewhere in the Middle East"...

To officially use the Pomodoro® name and logo in your application or platform, you must acquire a license.

If you make an app that competes with and implements the same idea and you call it the same that doesn’t sound like “free” or “fair” use.
Strange proposal.
