As a peer[1] in the habit-building space, there are so many things I love about this: * No self-reporting. I can attest this a huge source of friction for users. * Aligned business model. I also donate 100% of penalties to charity. It'

Exactly! It's the digital equivalent of placing the milk at the back of the grocery store. It's meant to distract you from why you're there in the first place. If anyone is interested, I wrote about why feeds are bad and how

Exactly, algorithmic feeds as a whole are the problem. I wrote about this on my blog [0], but in a nutshell they slow you down, take you in unwanted directions and encourage consumption over action. [0] https://suketk.com/fe

A fantastic blog post that dives into the same problem: https://mtlynch.io/why-i-quit-google It inspired me to quit years later and write my own version: https://suketk.com/why-i-quit-google

Feature request: add an option to hide the feed. I can do this on desktop with browser extensions, but there's no equivalent solution on mobile.

Maybe this isn't on-topic, but I figured HN users would appreciate it given our obsession with efficiency.

I highly recommend Vipassana [0]. It's similarly free from commercialism - there is no cost for teaching, lodging and food. At the end, you can pay if you found it beneficial and want to pay it forward. They also only accept contributi

Consistent reflection is a huge force multiplier, but it's sadly underrepresented in self-improvement because it's not sexy or fast. Yet it's the only sustainable solution. You can't fix what you don't know. Once yo

Exactly. We tend to underestimate the power of compounding wrt learning from your mistakes. Two things that are important here: honesty (you can't fix what you don't know) and consistency (tight feedback loop = faster compounding)

That's the problem with self-help today - inspiration/consumption is overrepresented and action is underrepresented. The problem stems from misaligned incentives - creators make money through engagement, regardless of actual chang
