You set a task description on the extension's popup page and then this gets sent to the API which will figure what the relevant categories are (this doesn't always work perfectly but you can edit them yourself after). If you want

I was referring more to relative passivity rather than income potential, but I haven't written one myself and I'm not too sure whether it's worth pursuing at all if your goal is money so I'll take your word for it.

An ebook will likely be much closer to passive income than a SaaS product. Neither are passive though - if you want to have a consistent stream of income you will have to continue doing work. And you will certainly have to do a fair amount

I've been using the Chrome extension I built [1] to set a task and block distractions that aren't relevant. This turns my browser into a less distracting environment which is a big help. Even more important is setting the right ph

It's more something I do on the side - Deepmode is something I started building for myself and then decided I should try to turn it into a real product for others to use too. I'm not an expert but I've been doing a lot of rea

As starting points I'd recommend checking out Digital Minimalism [0] (a concept and book by Cal Newport) and Tristan Harris' work at the Center For Humane Tech [1]. There are lots of products that try to help people spend less tim

Hey HN, I made this because I often find myself spending longer on YouTube than I intended, forgetting what I came there for and winding up it rabbit holes of recommended videos. This extension has helped me be more mindful and intentional

I've used Workona which I like but it seemed to be slowing down my browser and so I uninstalled it (although I haven't tested this carefully). Is Tabtation any more performant?

Seems to be working OK now.

Damn that's annoying, my apologies. Will fix as soon as I can get to my laptop.

This seems like the closest fit: https://usefyi.com/ . (at least judging from the landing page - haven't actually used it myself)

I'm building a Chrome extension[1] which uses NLP to determine whether you're on task by comparing the topics contained in any new page opened. It works fairly well, albeit not perfectly at this point. [1] - https://dee

One question to ask is which antidepressant specifically? Not enough people ask this question on top of deciding to take antidepressants to begin with and the risk/reward profile isn't the same for all of them. I would personally

For me the single best thing has been to schedule "deep work" first thing in the morning. blocking out 1-4 hours to work with no music, no access to my phone and if it makes sense (it rarely does) no internet connection. I find th

This is really cool, going to try it out tomorrow, although it could really do with a view optimised for mobile.

I think JavaScript: The Good Parts is still relevant, you'll just want to supplement it with other resources on ES6, async, etc. I recommend Kyle Simpson's series You Don't Know JS for understanding in depth. Eloquent JavaScr

It would help if you provided more context here. You are not in the same situation as Warren Buffet or Ray Dalio, so you should pause before trying to apply their advice to your own life. Are you a student? An employee? An entrepreneur? Of

I'm still unconvinced that LSD itself is more dangerous than natural alternatives (which is not a direct reply to you), but this is really interesting. I had no idea that chirality had such a significant impact on how dangerous a molec

It's definitely satisfying a need. I think your site could really do with some social proof but if you don't have any yet it's OK. I find the header, "More Kirk, less Spock", slightly off putting as a first attempt
