What it does
Most tools block apps or report screen time after the fact. The Doomscrolling Audit helps uncover what drives the habit. In about three minutes, it identifies your triggers, estimates how much time doomscrolling costs you, and creates a personalized 7-day reset plan. It is private, requires no login, and uses a supportive, shame-free approach focused on realistic changes, not harsh restrictions.
Take the Doomscrolling Audit to see how negative news and social media may be affecting your mood, sleep, focus, and time. Get a personalized reset plan from Pax Gate.
Most doomscrolling starts as "just checking." This audit helps you spot your pattern, your triggers, and the first boundary that could help. Twelve short questions, a few quick estimates, and a personalized result. No login, no shame, no advice you have heard a thousand times. Tap as many as apply. We will use this to personalize your result. Pick the single biggest culprit. If it's a tie, pick the one you reach for first. A rough guess is enough. We're looking for a feel, not precision. Tap any that ring true. This helps Pax suggest the right kind of pause. For the next six, choose how often each statement feels true. No right answer. Just an honest read.

An intentionally annoying app to break doomscrolling2025 · speedbumpapp.com · ▲14Based 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…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
