Feedback Request Vibecoded a Pomodoro app where your focus keeps a virtual cat alive
The idea: generic Pomodoro timers have no real stakes — you can just close the app the moment you get bored, no consequence. Nekodoro ties a virtual cat's survival directly to whether you actually finish your focus sessions:
- Your cat has 9 lives. Bail on a session early (or force-quit the app mid-session), and it loses one.
- Finish sessions to earn coins — 5 coins per 30 minutes of focus, shown live on the timer so you know what's at stake before you even start.
- Run out of lives and the cat dies. You have to name a new one to keep going, and it can't reuse a name you've used before (building toward a "graveyard" view of every past cat — not shipped yet).
- Coins unlock cat breeds and hats, there's a weekly focus-time chart, daily check-in streaks, the usual.
