I am changing the thread subject, so that people can notice that you are suggesting to add a new feature into Org mode. I will try to briefly describe it as I understand it: You want to add a new command that can start multiple countdown timers one after another, with predefined durations. The use case is Pomodoro and similar setups where you want to split the work into work/rest/work/... cycles. > Only thing I'd want is credit via some acknowledgement, can even be in a > code comment :) > here is my github if you wanted it https://github.com/Lemanrp. You will be acknowledged automatically as you submit a patch - when applied, the patch will be under your name. We will also put you into https://orgmode.org/worg/contributors.html. See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html detailing how to contribute to Org mode. But let's see what others think about the idea first. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
