Instant body doubling for your ADHD (interview work trial project)

Hey HN community! As part of a paid work trial at our startup Flow Club (YC S21), our candidate scoped, built and marketed a simple webapp designed to boost productivity and help people, especially those with ADHD, stay focused through the power of body doubling. I'd love to show it to you! Body doubling is a popular self-management technique where doing your work in the presence of others can help you stay focused, present, and accountable while reducing the feeling of fatigue and isolation that make us prone to distraction and overthinking.

In plain words

This webapp enables body doubling, a technique where people work alongside others to improve focus and reduce isolation. Designed particularly for those with ADHD, it offers a quiet shared video space without audio, optional lo-fi music, and a shared Pomodoro timer to create structure and accountability. Users can see others working in real time, which helps combat distractibility and the fatigue that comes with solo work.

Hey HN community! As part of a paid work trial at our startup Flow Club (YC S21), our candidate scoped, built and marketed a simple webapp designed to boost productivity and help people, especially those with ADHD, stay focused through the power of body doubling. I'd love to show it to you! Body doubling is a popular self-management technique where doing your work in the presence of others can help you stay focused, present, and accountable while reducing the feeling of fatigue and isolation that make us prone to distraction and overthinking. We’d love to show it to you. Key features: - Quiet shared space for body doubling: Work alongside others in a (no-audio) video call. Optional Lo-fi or synthwave music if that helps. - Pomodoro timer: The timer is (very slightly) shared with other users, introducing some structure and social accountability to help you make progress. - Social to-do list: Declaring your tasks more publicly helps increase the odds of you getting them done. - Peer recognition: Work is hard, so we’ve created more incremental opportunities to give yourself and others kudos to help propel each other forward. Why did we build the Flow Club Lounge? At Flow Club, we host 1,000 live, facilitated coworking sessions every week. By harnessing the power of social accountability and motivation, we help anyone working from home, working independently, or working with ADHD get more done while feeling connected. The magic lies in the body doubling, so the Flow Club Lounge is our way to help introduce body doubling to everyone more easily. Thank you for your support, and happy focusing! Give it a try (no signup required unless you want to turn your camera on!): https://in.flow.club/lounge/ Give it a try and share your feedback. Happy focusing!
