Show HN: SurfControl - helps you be more productive online (made at a hackathon)
Hi HN,
We participated at the Mozilla WSOH (http://wsoh.eventbrite.com/) over the summer. It was a hackathon organized by Mozilla for interns all over Silicon Valley with an attendance of over 300+ interns from Facebook, Google, etc.
A friend and I made SurfControl and were the winners of the hackathon. We just pushed our product live and would love to get feedback!

About SurfControl: "SurfControl is an add-on that shows you how you waste time online, and gives you tools to block or limit your time spent on different websites."
It is a Firefox add-on and can be downloaded at http://getsurfcontrol.com
Would you use this tool? Why/why not?
- md1515 15y agoVery cool add-on. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
- aam1r 15y agoThanks! We're planning to add more features such as more charts/statistics, etc. We will also be working on a Chrome add-on soon
- frenchieee 15y agoDefinitely super cool. I'd like to use it, (for Chrome please!), although it might be kind of terrifying. However, the more you know and all that... Nicely done! Edit: I love graphs! Seriously, visual representations are AWESOME.
- ryanlchan 15y agoLooks similar to RescueTime (http://www.rescuetime.com/ http://www.rescuetime.com/). What's the differentiation strategy?
