The problem OptiPause 20/20 solves

OptiPause 20/20 is a simple tool that helps developers protect their eyesight by reminding them to take breaks at regular intervals. Designed to combat eye strain and fatigue caused by extended screen time, OptiPause 20/20 prompts the user to take a 20-second break every 20 minutes, during which they are encouraged to look at something 20 feet away. This open-source project is easy to use and customize, and aims to improve the well-being and productivity of developers everywhere.

Challenges I ran into

The Biggest challange was to make it easy to use and keep the codebase easier for future updates, Since i wanted it to be an opensource project, i was searching for a easy way to develop desktop(windows) applications. One of the languages that instantly came to my mind was VBScript or Visual Basic Script, which essentially is a scripting language made by Microsoft to make development of such small tools easier. At exactly morning 10 i started, and approximately at 2:00Pm i created the initial(Current) release on Github. This was the simplicity and power of VBScript, Also the knowledge of Html,Css and JavaScript came handy because the overall GUI is made using these technologies. Yes this is possible too.😉
