LockIn – Study Spots

What it does

Hey everyone! I built LockIn over the past 6 months. It's a map-based app that shows nearby cafes, libraries, and study rooms with LIVE noise levels, WiFi quality, outlet availability, and bathroom access — all reported by students studying right now. The problem: You spend 20 minutes searching for a quiet place to study. We spent 6 months solving that. The solution: Open the map, see 20+ nearby spots ranked by noise/crowds/WiFi, tap one, and study.

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
