Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!! =)

A couple of things that have been effective for me:

1) Block said online service using the hostfile until addiction becomes manageable / goes away. Repeat as needed.

2) For work, keep a notebook. Review and set goals at the start of each day or week. Review and update notes / goals at the end of each day and week. Your own agenda, your game to keep yourself motivated.

Now, since your addiction is blocked and you have something to do, you'll at least get it done before turning to your addiction to kill time / unwind.

Isn't this true for regular old fiberglass as well?

We often see people working with those materials wear protective equipment (full coveralls, breathing / eye protection).


Show 3 walls side by side: updates by friends, interactions by direct connections on shares by friends of friends, and public stories by those nearby (geographically). The latter could also turn into a way for local businesses to promote themselves. Keep the 3 in separate lanes in order to let the user decide how much they want to doom scroll.


You're basically describing the 3 default pages for a new user on a Mattermost instance :)


Thanks for the thoughts.

But we are not interested turning into Facebook. You will only see posts of your friends and nothing more.

I was spending 8+ hours a day doom scrolling which led to this idea. I just want to see what my friends want me to see and that's it.


Sure thing. Oh - maybe let people follow non-friends that they want to see public updates from, and make everyone follow you, so their walls won't be so empty on Day 1 ;).


Thanks :)

Few others have suggested the same. But it kind of defeats the purpose since the goal is to see updates from your close friends and have only private profils. Even though empty feed is not good, it's a feature in our platform. We want to see what users do when the feed is empty. Only real way to have a non empty feed without compromising the core idea is letting users invite friends.

I am thinking along those lines!

What city was this booking for?


Not OP but something similar to me has happened in Berlin, but in my understanding this is more due to local regulation which effectively makes "true" Airbnb's illegal and the places that remain on the platform are basically apartment letting businesses


Not the OP, but happened to me in London.


This was in Manchester, UK


OkNext.io is built using Elixir and Phoenix framework, if you're considering building a Web App and looking for examples.
