## UX

Purpose
- relieve stress
- increase well being
- stress in everyday life
- hard to find time to sit still
- meditate myself and find it very positive
- idea to build something that i can use myself and help others to get into the practice seemed compelling
### Purpose
The purpose of this Web-App is to allow people to track their meditation habits and have reliable timer to take the desired time off. Meditation is an effective method to relieve stress and increase well being. In our busy and stressful everday life it is often hard to find time to sit still and just take a deep breath. Due to my own experiences of meditating everyday and using various timers i had the motivation to build something that i can use myself and enable others to get the chance to benefit from a daily meditation.

Who?
- site is targeted to users who now basic principles or practices of meditation who are looking for a solution to track their meditation time
### Who?

Why?
- eventhou it would be great to have unlimited time for meditation like a zen monk everyday life has its demands and we can often only slice a couple of minutes out of the day
- therefor the timer helps to enjoy the meditation sitting without worrying about meditating too long or too short
The WebApp is targeted to users who now basic principles or practices of meditation and who are looking for a solution to track their meditation time and have a motivation to keep up the day-to-day sessions by tracking their streak.

What?
- core feature functionality of this site is to provide an meditation timer
- start of a session and is signaled by nice bell sound
- user has the option to activate ambient sound, choose the prefered meditation time (5, 10, 15, 20 Minutes) and a background
### Why a timer?

Even though it would be great to have unlimited time for meditation like a zen monk, everyday life has its demands and we can often only slice a couple of minutes out of the day. Therefore the timer helps to enjoy the meditation sitting without worrying about meditating too long or too short. Since phone timers often have awkward timer sounds that are not sensitive the use of compelling gong sounds start and end the session itself.

### What?

The core functionaly of this WebApp is to provide an meditation timer. It allows the user to start a session, which is signaled by a gentle gong sound. Furthermore the user has the option to activate/deactive an ambient sound, choose the prefered meditation time (5, 10, 15, 20 Minutes) and a background image. Additionally the WebApp tracks the day-to-day interactions and allows the user to track his/her meditation streak.

### User Stories

* As a meditator i want to choose between longer and shorter sessions, so that i can accustom my practice to my liking.
* As a mediator i want to have a count down button after starting the mediation, so that i have time to close my eyes and adjust my seating before the "real" practice starts.
