# Timer Element Work Report ## #Overview This note documents the timer work completed by **Chris Sanden** in the Study-Sprint project. The git history shows a dedicated timer commit: - Commit: `d50301cb04837b196110cea43ff15c0493c5fac2` - Short hash: `d50301c` - Author: `Chris Sanden ` - Date: `2026-04-21` - Message: `First draft of timer element` - File added: `app/(tabs)/timer.tsx` - Branch references at inspection time: `timer`, `origin/timer` --- ## #ImplementedFeatures ### #TimerTab Created the first draft of a standalone timer screen: - Added `app/(tabs)/timer.tsx` - Implemented the timer as its own tab while the final task-start flow is still planned - Used React Native and Expo tab routing conventions already present in the project --- ### #DurationSelector Implemented a horizontal animated selector for timer durations: - Uses `Animated.FlatList` - Supports snap scrolling with `snapToInterval` - Shows selectable durations from `1` to `60` - Uses scaled and faded text animation so the centered duration is emphasized - Updates the selected duration when scrolling ends --- ### #TimerAnimation Implemented the first timer start animation: - Added a circular start button - Button fades and moves down after the timer starts - Timer overlay animates into view - Timer overlay then animates out based on the selected duration - Uses `Animated.sequence` and `useNativeDriver` --- ## #UserInterface The timer screen includes: - Full-screen dark background - Red timer overlay - Large centered duration numbers - Circular red start button near the bottom of the screen - Hidden status bar for a focused timer view The visual direction is a simple first draft intended to make the timer interaction testable before deeper integration with tasks. --- ## #PlannedIntegration The in-code note describes the intended next step: - Keep the timer as a separate tab initially - Later open the timer when a user starts a task - Replace the current duration-number area with task information such as: - Task name - Task description - Potentially add an animated character or visual element if time allows --- ## #GitEvidence The work attributed to Chris is supported by this git log entry: ```text d50301c Chris Sanden 2026-04-21 First draft of timer element ``` The commit added one new file: ```text A app/(tabs)/timer.tsx ``` The file was later also touched in commit `cb6368a` by `Teodor` on `2026-04-22` as part of broader UI and routing fixes. The original timer implementation documented here is the `d50301c` commit authored by Chris. --- ## #Conclusion Chris implemented the first functional timer draft for the application. The work established a standalone timer tab, duration selection, animated start behavior, and a clear path for later connecting the timer to task-start workflows.
