David from Flow Club here— I'll be hosting a few Hacker News-only sessions today and tomorrow. I remember attending a HN meetup in Palo Alto back when I was an undergrad back in 2009 and it was super cool to hear what people were working on—not just the high-level pitch, but literally what they were debugging that day. That's been my favorite part of Flow Club as well.
I've been a big fan of pomodoro and time-blocking, but for a long time was convinced that it didn't work well for coding until I experimented a bit. Wrote up some of my thoughts here: https://www.flow.club/blog/makers-schedule-2021 https://www.flow.club/blog/makers-schedule-2021 Would love to hear if any of y'all try to time block for writing code and will be around to answer any questions!
- dgnemo 5y agoCongrats on the launch! really like the concept. I actually worked on a company where the entire team was working on the rhythm (focus/pause/focus...) of a shared pomodoro timer (a physical one!). It was super productive. Now that we all work remotely your concept is very intriguing. I wonder if you could remove some requirements (camera, introductions, slot booking) and still have accountability benefits from having other people sharing your focus time. Nevertheless, cool idea! wish you the best!
