FocusGuard: The Pomodoro Timer Built to Sabotage Your Workflow

FocusGuard satirizes productivity culture by creating a timer that defeats its own purpose—any attempt to work triggers resets and escalating passive-aggressive messages. This vanilla JavaScript project cleverly showcases DOM event handling (mousemove, keydown, visibilitychange) while exposing the fundamental absurdity of measuring productivity in an environment that demands constant computer interaction. The joke hits because it reveals an uncomfortable truth: real work and strict Pomodoro discipline are inherently incompatible.
