A cross-platform timer built on Electron for doing Mob Programming
Run npm install to get the dependencies, then npm start to run the timer.
Run npm test to start the unit tests, or npm run integration_test to run integration tests.
Run these commands to create the app for your respective system:
- Windows:
npm run build-win - Mac OS X:
npm run build-mac - Linux:
npm run build-linux(You may need to installlibcanberra-gtk-module)
Platform specific packages will be placed in the dist directory.
If you need a platform other than these, you will need to modify the build script in the package.json file.
Pluralsight has a development team that does mob programming full-time, and a few other teams dabble in mobbing as well. We have tried and enjoyed a number of other mob timers, but we had various (mostly minor) gripes with them. So we decided to build one of our own.
We had a few goals:
- Make a timer that is hard to ignore, but also not overly annoying
- Implement escalating alerts
- Customization
- Have a timer that we can easily hack on, built with tech we know
