Cherrola, an aggressive Pomodoro timer for OSX

https://github.com/felixpalmer/Cherrola I made this simple app to force myself to stick to the Pomodoro technique. In a nutshell, during the breaks your screen is obscured forcing you to take a break from your screen. Would like to get feedback on whether this is something others find interesting, as then I would go through with the process of putting this into the App Store (currently just in github).

JS library to make your website instant▲426
http://instantclick.io/ It seems the internet architecture won't bring us instant websites anytime soon. So here is a hack. I released this JS library last month (today is version 2.0 release, fixing v1.0's rough edges), it makes use of HTML5's pushState and preloading to make a website instant.
