   Thanks for voicing your concern. I don't believe we need an acquisition. As mentioned, we plan on monetizing either through a premium tier with productivity tools built for power users or charging a very low amount from every user. We

   Definitely! Thanks for the idea. This is on our roadmap and we plan on implementing it next month.

   I definitely agree with you that for a lot of users, we need to make everything as easy as possible.

   You are correct - that would work to send reminders (notifications). However, we wouldn't be able to prevent people from using their apps. This is definitely something we are considering.

   Thanks for the suggestion! We've actually experimented with a similar concept - hold people accountable to their goals through social accountability, where friends can "watch over" each other and win/lose points (or mone

   That's actually something we actively think about and have tried a failed solution in the past; we implemented a feature where you can find other productive things to do - the implementation wasn't good and we plan on giving this

    Thanks a lot for all these ideas; can definitely be a great approach. Desktop and mobile are our two biggest directions. It is definitely on our minds to bring functionalities of our extension onto apps on the computer, and be more intellig

    Thank you. A major reason is in crypto, people can already leverage 100x, and thus people who would normally use options for leverage no longer need it.

    Definitely agree with your sentiment; I probably only need Twitter for 10 minutes on most days. Yes - we are working on making it harder to ignore our extension when a person's being distracted. The key is really to build a good classi

    Agreed that we definitely have a lot more work to do. We currently let people change functionality on these websites - such as blocking the newsfeed. I like your suggestion that we should not only hide it, but also replace it. We'll th

    Yes - we definitely plan on turning on Firefox and other browsers soon. As you've mentioned, there are tools out there that makes this neat.

    Definitely agree with you that this is very hard and intricate - we are continuously thinking about how to balance between intermediate interventions/reminders and solving the most serious social media addictions.

    Thanks for sharing that - I also know friends who use the VPN method on mobile. I myself used Forest as my pomodoro timer; one problem I had was often times I would forget to turn it on.

    Thank you so much for sharing these tips and suggestions on mobile. Mobile is definitely on our todo list, more so Android than iPhone. Like you mentioned, Android's digital well-being initiative helps better products emerge. Unfortuna

    Thank you letting us know your thoughts; you definitely raise some valid points on how much control we should give to our users. In our case, our philosophy is that our product should assist users in making the correct decisions, instead of

    This is a serious problem we experience personally, and we know it’s a painful one for millions of others. We have the opportunity to help people claim back a significant amount of their time each day. The initial product is simple, but the

    Thanks for letting us know. Extensions for other browsers are in the works, and will be available soon. That's a good point - making Facebook annoying to be on is a solution. We currently let you block elements like the newsfeed. As we

    Thanks; it's something we would want ourselves when we download an extension, so we built it into ours.
