Planned Feature: Scheduling Timers

[pingSubhajit]

Description

Implement a feature to allow users to schedule stopwatches with a specified start time. The stopwatch should start counting from the specified start time and not from the moment it is created.

Requirements

1. Start Time Input:

   • Add an input field in the stopwatch creation form to specify the start time.
   • The input should allow users to select a future date and time.

2. Timer Initialization:

   • When the user creates a stopwatch with a specified start time, store this start time in the database.
   • The stopwatch should start counting from the specified start time, regardless of when it was created.

3. UI/UX Changes:

   • Update the UI to display the scheduled start time for each stopwatch.
   • Indicate whether a stopwatch is scheduled to start in the future or is already running.

4. Notifications:

   • Optionally, notify users when their scheduled stopwatch starts.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can schedule a stopwatch with a future start time.
• The stopwatch begins counting from the specified start time.
• The UI displays scheduled and active stopwatches appropriately.
• The backend correctly handles the storage and initialization of scheduled stopwatches.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that the feature is thoroughly tested.
• Update documentation to include instructions on how to use the scheduling feature.
