CoolDown: Mindful Spending Tracker

What it does

CoolDown helps you avoid impulse purchases by adding a cooling-off timer to any product you want to buy. Add an item, set your delay (1h, 24h, 7 days), and get notified when time's up — then decide if you still want it. Track how much you've saved and spot your spending patterns. Because the best purchases are the ones you still want tomorrow. 🧊

  Hi HN, I’ve always struggled with impulse buying—that late-night Amazon scroll or the "deal" that's too good to pass up. I realized I was trading long-term goals for short-term dopamine hits. The core problem is the frictionlessness of modern e-commerce. To fight back, I built Nope It. It’s not just another budgeting app. It's a PWA designed to interrupt the impulse loop at the critical moment.

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
