    i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.

    this is an open-source project. the MVP to end all MVPs. made by me, a teenage developer angry at FAANG employees for creating a soulless, consumer-oriented world. The future is in creation, and the future is in teaching people to slam shit together with ChatGPT. Welcome to the start. :P

    Based on personal struggles, I built an app that shows annoying things on my phone when I doomscroll. This includes dancing cats, the screen time police, or rain. Social media is great as long as you don't overuse it -- I learn and connect with friends thanks to it. But it's too easy to get hooked. When you open addictive apps, SpeedBump gives you a few options: 2, 5, 15, 30 minutes. The more you want to use, the more you have to wait before opening. Once time's up, it starts to annoy you a lot. There's no way to extend the timer without breaking your streak; you'll have to take a 15 min…

    Devlog is a powerful tool that automatically generates (b)log posts from your Git commit history, providing a natural language summary of your development progress. It uses ollama to generate the blog posts locally so it never sends your data to third-party servers.

    Hi HN, I’m Tobi. For a couple of hours over the past few days I’ve been hacking on something to fix a pain point in my dev workflow: writing status updates. Progress is invisible by default. GitHub, Linear, Jira all track tickets and code, but they don’t do a good job of capturing the narrative between “ticket started” and “ticket done.” You start working on a feature, your PM asks “how’s it going?”, and even though you know exactly how it’s going - because you’ve been committing and making progress - you still struggle to answer. That usually means breaking your flow to piece together an…
