I turned off all alerts except for messages from my family. I check everything else often enough and people really can’t tell the difference in my responsiveness. My overall happiness is higher now that things aren’t popping up or vibrating all the time.
- _the_inflator 3y agoI side with you, same here. WhatsApp is pull only, so to say, no alerts at all. Other apps are restricted by iPhone. I am so glad there is no "Hacker News" app. ;)
- geraldhh 3y agoi consider a website that presents structured text in a consumer-friendly way, using minimal resources, a very successful application of computers, the internet and a browser.

- dabluecaboose 3y agoI installed a HN app from F-droid that was quite pleasant on a recent trip, when I had long stretches of time that I wanted to read something. Unfortunately, I could tell that I would spend a lot of time on it so I uninstalled it post-haste when the trip was over.
- dheera 3y agoSame. - I block all unscheduled phone calls, whitelisting only parents/SO - I block all notifications and check apps pull-only - During work hours I check Slack about once every 30 minutes. (If there's some urgent deadline coming up I might check it a few more times in the evening but that's not the norm)
