Nuxt.js
Discontinued Nuxt is an intuitive and extendable way to create type-safe, performant and production-grade full-stack web apps and websites with Vue 3. [Moved to: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt]
As a bonus point, the issues you create in your repository can also serve as part of the documentation. You can outline new features there and you will even be able to generate changelogs from the merged pull requests (like I do using conventional-changelog/standard-version).
I also thought that making such an app should not be so difficult, maybe I could create something even better. I just had to decide on the platform and tooling, but since I was already looking at web apps and I already had some experience with Nuxt and Vue.js, I believed that I could leverage them to build my very own take on a great timer application. Time to start building it!
Speaking of feature creep, in my case, I still think that it would be cool to add motivational quotes, a reward system, personal statistics and more to the app, but if I started working on these before releasing 1.0, it would probably take another year to finish. Also, new ideas and wishes would arise anyway, so maybe I wouldn't be much ahead on this journey. These things are not critical to make the app usable and enjoyable, so they go to the backlog, and I'll finish them if I have enough time and motivation.
