While the stats are being displayed, there isn't really a way to reset the data with the click of a button.
User has to delete the activity.json file manually to reset the graphs.
Building a simple button to reset the data would be a lot more useful.

Need for Documentation

• The entire project must be documented.
• Changelog must be created and constantly updated for future developers.
• Contributing guidelines must be set for developers to understand how to contribute to the project.
• README.md must be updated with project details like, why and how to install it along with other essential details.
• Automating changelog based on commit messages is also recommended.
• Adding in Issue and pull request templates for ease of contributing is also required.

For any help with documentation or understanding the scripts, contact the developers.
Front-end -> @iamvineettiwari
Back-end -> @AshutoshSingh-123, @tahajunaid and @Susmita-Pal.

Feature request

• Creating an option to add in websites that will be blocked off once focus mode is turned on.
• Ensure that every domain under the website is blocked as well.

This feature was already worked on during development but had to be paused due to failure in the method used.
Front-end changes for the feature request can be found here - ce996f4.

Currently, data is being displayed in the order of recently launched and then stored statically.
It would be preferable to arrange the data ascending in the order of time spent on each of the applications.

Testing out projects

Adding in a Pomodoro Timer would help in focusing on the task much better.

Blocking applications during the cycle and disabling during breaks would drastically help increase productivity.

• The application currently obtains data from their respective active window names.
• This however means we will not be able to force close applications when and if needed.
• Switching this up to obtain process names would allow us to in turn get it's process ID.

• Using regex to find a match for the application names and their corresponding process names has to be done.
• Will have to obtain a complete list of all selected programs deemed unproductive first.
• Check if the currently running process names of applications match any from the list obtained.
• If a match, force close application using its process name.

There seems to be an error where the process closes or changes its id before we start tracking it.
Along with this, PID produced is sometimes negative which isn't possible.
Have to try and except all these cases.
