Published my first AUR package this week. It's called bleep, a simple interval timer that beeps.

The idea came from cooking bolognese. I needed something to remind me when to stir. So I wrote a small Go tool that just beeps at whatever interval(s) you set.

Then I kept adding stuff. Verbose mode with a live countdown, pause/resume with signals, and a JSON output mode that works with Waybar. That last one is actually my favorite part. I get a little timer in my status bar that changes color when it's counting, paused, or beeping. Click to pause. Works great for pomodoro or just keeping track of things while working.

I switched from Mac to Arch and wanted to try the whole AUR thing. Used GoReleaser to automate the build and publish. Took some fiddling but it works now.
