This pull request enhances the Pomodoro timer page by adding user-friendly features such as toast notifications, a lofi music player, and interactive help instructions. It also improves accessibility and flexibility by allowing dynamic timer durations and providing a more engaging user experience.

User Experience Improvements:

  • Added toast notifications to inform users when work or break sessions are completed, replacing browser alerts for a less disruptive experience. Toasts auto-dismiss after 5 seconds and can be manually closed. [1] [2] [3]
  • Introduced a toggleable sidebar help section with step-by-step Pomodoro instructions, making it easier for new users to understand how to use the timer. [1] [2]

Focus and Productivity Features:

  • Implemented a minimal lofi music player that streams background music from YouTube, with UI controls to start and stop playback. [1] [2] [3]
  • Updated timer progress bar and technique display to reflect user-selected work and break durations, rather than hardcoded defaults. [1] [2]

UI Enhancements:

  • Replaced the settings icon with a more intuitive one and added icons for music and help features for better discoverability. [1] [2] [3]
  • Changed the notification sound to a local asset for improved reliability.

These changes collectively make the Pomodoro timer more interactive, customizable, and helpful for users.

Added toast notifications for session transitions, a lofi music player toggle, and a help sidebar with user instructions. Updated timer sound and improved settings and sidebar UI for a more interactive Pomodoro experience.
Introduced a new MP3 sound file to be played when the timer completes. This enhances user feedback for timer completion events.

Introduces a draining coffee cup SVG next to the timer, visually representing remaining time with animated coffee fill and steam. The cup's appearance changes based on work or break mode, enhancing the Pomodoro timer's user experience.
