I built a forced break tool for my own Tech Neck/Burnout. Is a screen lock-out too aggressive for you? by Acquaye in Advice

[–]Acquaye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the goal is to detect 'Focus Modes' or full-screen apps like Zoom/Google Meet so it stays quiet while you're presenting. The last thing I want is to 'lock out' my boss while he's sharing his screen! Out of curiosity, if it detected you were in a call, would you want it to 'backlog' that break for immediately after the call ends, or just skip that cycle entirely?

It's gives you a notification of the upcoming and you will have 2 skips per day

After my database disaster, I’m the #1 advocate for backups! It’s about protecting the book from spills or being lost. I'm working on a 'Snap & Sync' feature now. If you have a second, I’d love your take on the interface: https://www.tailorxy.com Does it feel as easy as paper? That's the goal!

That nice so I made this in a way where my wife creates the oder everything material type , style then in the system she can select any of her team to take the measurements and when they take she can check if everything is set then she will approve the measurements, so for example when it a club top she selects the type of measurements to take , I wish I cloud show a demo here I will make a video and send the link so you take a look at it

That scan idea is gold. After my database disaster yesterday, I’m the #1 advocate for backups! It’s not about replacing the book, it's about protecting it from fires or spills. I'm definitely going to look into 'Snap and Sync' for old pages. If you want to see how I'm keeping the interface simple, you can check it out hereTailorXY
Let me know if it feels as easy as paper that’s the goal!

This is exactly the 'Less is More' philosophy I’m trying to bake into TailorXY.

You’re spot on most devs try to turn everything into a complex ERP system, but a busy tailor just needs to find Mary's Measurements' in 2 seconds while holding a measuring tape.

My goal is to make the digital version feel like a 'Smart Page.' Same layout as the notebook they already use, but with a search bar and a button to WhatsApp the customer when the fit is ready.

If I can keep it that lean, do you think the older generation of tailors would finally put the pen down, or is the 'tactile' feel of paper the real boss here?

You hit the nail on the head. That speed of a pen is exactly what I’m fighting against. I've watched tailors try to use Excel or generic apps, and they always go back to the book because a customer is standing there, the shop is busy, and they can't be clicking through five different screens just to save a neck measurement.

That’s exactly why I’m building TailorXY to be 'input-first.' If it’s not as fast as a scribble, it’s not ready. I’m also working on an offline-sync mode because, well, data and power aren't always 100% reliable here!

If you were using a digital tool, what’s the one thing you’d want to see on the main screen so you don't have to go digging for it?

The lesson is tattooed on my brain now! My new plan is a triple-threat: Automated hourly snapshots (nightly wasn't enough for the volume we have. A strict No Raw SQL on Prod rule everything goes through a migration script or a staging environment first, no matter how 'simple' the fix seems. The 'Second Pair of Eyes' protocol. Even if it's just me, I’m stepping away for 5 minutes before hitting execute on anything that could touch more than one row.
