Inspiration

JuanDoro was created to help my friend Juan pass his Calculas II class. Calc II is full of challenging topics that demand long and focused study sessions.

What it does

JuanDoro is a focused study timer based on the Pomodoro method.
It helps students:

  • break work into specific intervals
  • stay motivated with rotating tips
  • maintain momentum with session‑specific taglines
  • reduce burnout during long study sessions
  • keep their workflow simple and distraction‑free

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest challenges was working in a system I wasn’t familiar with.
Win32 C is low‑level, and very different from I’m used to. I had to learn how Windows messages work, how timers behave, how to debug issues.

A major part of the challenge was realizing that—even though there were many possible ways to build this project—Win32 C was ultimately the best option .

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a program in a system I wasn’t familiar with

One accomplishment I’m especially proud of is building this entire project in a system I wasn’t used to.

What we learned

What's next for Juandoro

Hopefully Juandoro will improved features in the future such as

  • Background music
  • Additional study methods
  • More optimized session intervals
