I have a suspicion that someone holds worldwide patents on multi timers with repetitions and notifications (audio and vibration).

Thats the only explanation I have to explain the dire state of the built in timers on iphones and the free apps available on the app store. And no, I’m not going to pay $$$ per month for the premium apps.

And don’t even get me started on the PITA it is to make a web app to do the same (useful for runners) - you would think it would be a simple thing todo? Have a go and let me know if it doesn't break your balls.


There are a lot of successive/repeat timer apps on the stores it's mostly catered to either people with ADHD or people timing their workouts. I don't understand why no one includes it in the standard clock apps especially how often they redesign/rewrite them.


Are you referring to the Pomodoro "business" and their trademarks? I actually thought it was just for use of the name 'Pomodoro'


Thanks - at least I’m not going mad.

Email seems to be affected as well :(


Whois isn't even showing the domains and name servers. Not to mention DNS records. Its like the domains don't exist anymore.


Is there a “status page” for TLDs?


No idea. Never actually seen a failure like this in practise.


Wonder why some are working. I am searching DDG with “site:.space”


Some domains are working but many are not. first hit on DDG: stuffin.space
