Settings error logic

Context and Problem Statement

What should happen if the user enters invalid input in the settings for Pomodoro lengths and volue?

Considered Options

• Value becomes default values
• Value becomes min and max values
• Value returns to the value it was previously

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: Option 2 was chosen, as, most of the time when a user enters an invalid input, it will be because they want more or less time/volume than what we allow (primarily more, because our min is pretty low already.) In the case that a user wants more time, it makes more sense to give them the maximum time allowed, instead of giving them something else.
