Stat Button Functioning Changes

• Status: Accepted
• Date: 2021-03-15

Context and Problem Statement

What are the final functionalities of stat button? Would it end the session? Would it be disabled?

Considered Options

• Stat button ends the current session and thus is not disabled during work mode
• Stat button only displays today statistics and is disabled during work mode

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: The stat button only's functionality is to showcase the statistics (pomodoros completed, short breaks, long breaks, interrupted sessions) and will be disabled during work mode to avoid distractions.

Pros and Cons of the Options

Stat button ends the current session and thus is not disabled during work mode

• Pros: It gives users an option to terminate the whole working session while still staying in the page
• Cons: It confuses users of the unexpected functionality; Allowing statistics view during a work mode can be distracting.

Stat button only displays today statistics and is disabled during work mode

• Pros: The button's functionality is simple and clear; minimizing distractions during work time
• Cons: Users have no way to terminate the timer without exiting the page
