Workspace
Keep concentrated and productive.
Workspace is a focus app that combines a to-do list, timer, notes, Hacker News feed, and white noise into one distraction-free interface.
Workspace is a web application designed to help you stay focused and get work done. Instead of juggling multiple browser tabs and distractions, it brings together a few useful tools in one dedicated space.
The app combines a to-do list with a built-in timer so you can work through tasks and track how long each one takes. There's also a section for jotting down ideas or useful information you want to remember—think of it as a quick notes area. To keep you informed without leaving the workspace, it pulls in recent stories from Hacker News. And if you need background sound to concentrate, the app includes white noise music to help block out distractions.
This would appeal to anyone who wants a distraction-free working environment—freelancers, students, or anyone doing focused work at their computer. Instead of opening separate apps for timers, note-taking, news reading, and ambient sound, you get everything in one minimalist interface. The idea is that having these tools in one place removes friction and keeps you in a productive mindset.
The project is straightforward to set up if you want to run it yourself: just install dependencies and run a start command. The code follows a consistent style guide to keep it clean and readable.
