Project Problems

Small businesses face significant financial strain due to transaction fees when accepting debit and credit card payments. Debit cards incur a fixed fee of around $0.07 per transaction, while credit cards charge 2.25% plus a $0.01 fee per transaction. These "junk fees" can substantially erode profit margins, particularly for businesses with high transaction volumes. Finding strategies to reduce these fees is essential for enhancing the profitability and sustainability of small businesses.

Project Challenges

User Interface Design: Designing a user-friendly and intuitive interface that accommodates users of all technical levels was a significant challenge. Balancing design with functionality while maintaining a simple and clean look required careful consideration.
Customization Options: Implementing customizable timers for focus sessions, short breaks, and long breaks presented a challenge in maintaining simplicity in the user interface. Providing users with a range of alarm sounds and preferences while avoiding an overwhelming experience required thoughtful design and engineering.
Performance Optimization: Optimizing the app to run smoothly on various devices, including older models, without excessive battery or memory usage was essential.
Widget Integration: Creating a functional and responsive home screen widget that provided quick access to the timer and essential controls posed a challenge. Ensuring the widget was lightweight, did not drain device resources, and provided a seamless user experience required careful development and testing.
