A few thoughts: 1. Great idea! I use Pomodoro a lot, and find it really helpful. 2. Honestly, I'm offending at the word Fuck and Shit, and I would never use a product that was swearing at me.

Point noted. During our brainstorming, we were trying to strike a balance between snarky and nice and thought to just post it up to see what people thought and iterate ;)

You must struggle to surf generally, in that case, without being offended. There are plenty of profanity blockers like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-profanity-filter/ackkocjhcalcpgpfjcoinogdejibgbho?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-profanity-f.... Surely, it makes more sense to install one, objecting to every occurrence of swearing is going to take up a lot of your time.

  There's a world of difference between "I fucking hate Javascript" and "Fuck you."

    I'm not sure what you're getting at here. One can be incredibly rude and 'offensive' without swearing.

      Not sure how you wound up there. I'm pointing out that swearing to emphasize words is different from swearing at the user. I don't think the problem here is that the software has "Fuck You" and not "Screw You" floating over the middle finger pointing at the user, but that's exactly what David is implying with his disingenuous remark about installing a profanity blocker.

  I'm just giving honest feedback on the product: I think you're limiting the scope of the product by using words that offend some people. Given the upvotes, I don't think I'm alone.

You are offended? Then don't use the website. It is not your right to not be offended. I think the swearing is brilliant.

  You think the swearing itself is brilliant? I can see 'okay', or 'funny', but 'brilliant'?

    Given the nature of the website I think it suits perfectly. All too often I just need to "get shit done" and this mirrors these feelings perfectly. A similar website without this "feeling" would make little to no impact. I think the swearing is the message here. The site itself is very simple and anyone here can replicate it's functionality in minutes with a few lines of code. We all need a kick in the ass sometimes.

Strangely, I find the profanity motivating.
