Hi,


I am kicking of 2016 with weekplan and will stick to it for the first quarter to test and get used to it. I was wondering if you can add the option to track time in pomodoros, the time tracker already runs 25min pomodoros, so why not set duration like, 3 pomodoros for a task.


Keep up the good work.

If a task could have a duration in pomodoros, how would you use that information?

Good question, you could plan your day/week with more easy, my average now is about 10 pomodoros day, 50 a week. So if you plan more then 10 pomodoros a day you know you are pushing it, If you plan less you are slacking. The amount of pomodoros varies per person but for me as a manager thats my max.


Of course you can calculate it back to time (10 pomodoros is about 4 hours a day, 20 hours a week) but i think it would be a nice addition to your app.

I don't think I am going to implement this anytime soon but maybe you can use the hours unit as pomodoros? For example, "Remember the milk ~2h" to create a task with 2 pomodoros as estimation?

I am now working with time, 25min intervals, works fine. Just an idea :)
