+# Deskmeter GNOME Task Indicator
+
+A GNOME Shell extension that displays your current deskmeter task in the top panel, positioned to the left of the panel indicators.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- GNOME Shell (versions 40-47 supported)
+- Deskmeter web server running on `http://localhost:10000`
+- The `/api/current_task` endpoint must be accessible
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Copy the extension to your GNOME extensions directory:
+
+```bash
+cp -r /home/mariano/wdir/dm/gnome-extension/deskmeter-indicator@local \
+  ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
+```
+
+2. Restart GNOME Shell:
+   - On X11: Press `Alt+F2`, type `r`, and press Enter
+   - On Wayland: Log out and log back in
+
+3. Enable the extension:
+
+```bash
+gnome-extensions enable deskmeter-indicator@local
+```
+
+Or use GNOME Extensions app (install with `sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-prefs` if needed).
+
+## Configuration
+
+The extension polls the API every 3 seconds. You can adjust this in `extension.js`:
+
+```javascript
+const UPDATE_INTERVAL = 3000; // milliseconds
+```
+
+The API URL is set to:
+
+```javascript
+const DESKMETER_API_URL = 'http://localhost:10000/api/current_task';
+```
+
+## Uninstallation
+
+```bash
+gnome-extensions disable deskmeter-indicator@local
+rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/deskmeter-indicator@local
+```
+
+Then restart GNOME Shell.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Extension not showing
+
+1. Check if the extension is enabled:
+   ```bash
+   gnome-extensions list --enabled
+   ```
+
+2. Check for errors:
+   ```bash
+   journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell
+   ```
+
+### Shows "offline" or "error"
+
+- Ensure dmweb Flask server is running on port 10000
+- Test the API endpoint:
+  ```bash
+  curl http://localhost:10000/api/current_task
+  ```
+  Should return JSON like: `{"task_id":"12345678","task_path":"work/default"}`
+
+### Task path too long
+
+The extension automatically truncates paths longer than 40 characters, showing only the last two segments with a `.../ ` prefix.
