What it does
Trick your brain that you have not deleted the app! Breaking the loop of deleting and reinstalling social apps is tough because muscle memory takes over. DopaMean fixes this. It is a minimal web app that adds a realistic fake icon to your home screen. Delete your real apps, install this PWA, and tap it when the urge hits. You get a forced 30-second pause to rethink your scrolling habit. It is free, open-source, requires no account, and has zero tracking. Try it out and break the dopamine loop.
Replace doomscrolling with mindful pauses. Create home screen shortcuts that intercept social media habits with science-based friction.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
