hey, chrome90, android, pixel3 - start button does nothing.

work/play toggle works.

reset appears no-op too.

don't have debug console on this phone, so don't have more details :(

I think you have to put in a time and then hit start. It's not like a normal pomodoro timer where it's fixed at 25 minutes.

Would benefit from some docs. (Edit: it's described on GitHub but I didn't see that at first)

Yes, that is how it works currently. I should've linked to the GitHub directly, but I will rectify this as soon as possible. Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for your feedback! Did you try entering in a time value and then pressing "Start"? Without entering a time, the default behavior is for start and reset to be no-ops. However, as I described in another comment further down in the thread, I'll link to GitHub (and also add some usage docs).

Same here from mobile Safari.

Aha, I expected it to count up to 25.

Maybe it is just me, it was around 0500 in the morning when I tested it, but it probably wouldn't hurt to add a hint.

Ah, I see! I could see why that would be a more intuitive behavior (as it's more in line with the standard 25 minute Pomodoro). I added a link to the repo, and the README includes information about how to use it, but I will add some hints like you describe so that people visiting for the first time aren't caught unawares.
