I’ve decided that the world needs yet another Pomodoro timer. yapm was unfortunately already taken, so I named it after the Swedish πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ tomato πŸ…: Tomat.

Tomat is designed specifically for status bars like waybar and polybar and only for linux.

Introducing Tomat: A Pomodoro Timer for Status Bars

I’ve decided that the world needs yet another pomodoro timer. yapm was unfortunately already taken, so I named it after the Swedish tomato.

@jolars very nice. Do you think it will be available on AUR sooner or later?
@vanacksabbadium I haven't packaged for AUR before, and I'm not on Arch myself, but it would certainly be nice to do! If you or someone else would like to contribute, I think we could make it "sooner" πŸ˜‰. Otherwise, I think "later" is more realistic.
@jolars that would be so nice. Unfortunately, i have no experience in either developing or packaging, so i could not use any help!

First attempt! I realize I forgot to package the systemd service, but I hope it should otherwise work. If you do try it out, please let me know if there are any issues.
