Adding Your Own Messages

Edit src/messages.js — each message is:

{
  title: "YOUR TITLE HERE",
  body: "The message body. Use `backticks` for code styling.",
  emoji: "🎯"
}

Add to ROAST_MESSAGES, MOTIVATE_MESSAGES, or TOUCH_GRASS_MESSAGES arrays.


How It Works

  1. Timer runs silently in the background
  2. Status bar shows countdown (23:45) and turns ⚠️ red in the last minute
  3. When time's up → full-screen webview panel appears with animated overlay
  4. User reads message, clicks the button (or presses Enter/Escape) to dismiss
  5. Timer automatically restarts for the next session

Enjoy the timer, bruh. 🔥
