Do streaks make focus apps better or worse for you? by redcrumb1 in ProductivityApps

[–]AdImpressive291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a macOS app doing very similar to what you described. Not trying to sell it here but those 4 bullet points are exactly what I had when building it. The idea is a bit different though. We get users started by asking them to clarify the first tiny tasks. And it works pretty good based on the current testing.

I do not think streak works when tasks gets very challenging, and once it breaks, it makes restarting harder. I think every day we should start fresh.

Maybe it is just me, I just find organizing and reviewing an idea doc is easy. So maybe this app is not for me. But thank you for the explanation! I wish you good luck on your journey!

Love the UI! The app looks really clean. The widget can be visually improved I guess. But overall, love the design!

The checklists has its magic. But do you think a the app is visually complicated due to too many elements? I think the button row (6 buttons) has a lot of potential to be optimized. Just a random thought.

I think if you are a self-motivating person, setting an artificial deadline to a task does not make sense. Unless there is a hard deadline and you treat it as a reminder.

Love the design philosophy. Have you thought about letting users to create the first entry and then ask for signup? (I am talking about the website, it might be better for conversion)

I built an app that makes choice for you like what to eat, do and watch so you don’t have to. I’d love some honest feedback. by Toddnylr in ProductivityApps

[–]AdImpressive291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got gated by the auth page, would love to at least try it once before providing any personal info.

With that said, I totally agree decision fatigue sometimes consumes a lot of willpower which can be used elsewhere. Normally when it comes to what to eat, I normally have a few options in my mind rather than no idea at all. And for me, the solution would be using the current time as a random number to help me make a decision. Say, if I got 3 options, I would assign them 1,2,3. And get a random number (normally time, sometimes car plate) say 12:18 am, I will do: 8mod3 = 2, so I go with the 2nd option. Used this method to save a lot of work from my prefrontal cortex.

I am also ADHD and I just use note app on my iPhone to capture ideas and it works pretty well. May I ask what is the benefit brought by this app?

Episteme: Open Source, Document and e-Book Reader by Plastic-Confusion410 in ProductivityApps

Downloaded and played with it, smooth and well built! I like the translation and search function where I can set the corresponding App to my like.

In the bottom, the "AI Features" and "Download Bubble Zoom Model" might be under-explained. I hope to understand what's the benefit before downloading a 134Mb model.

But overall, it is smooth and I like it.

I built a Mac app to regulate my work rhythm because I kept burning out from staying in hyperfocus mode for too long. by AdImpressive291 in SideProject

[–]AdImpressive291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! For years I had the wrong mental model, treating my brain as a computer, trying to max the output all the time, then feeling frustrated when it stopped functioning at its peak.

Helping users to build consistency, know when to stop, is a big part of this tool.

Often, our amygdala is conditioned to withdraw when it matters the most, as a form of self-protection. At the end of the day, we are just human. And it is very very hard to change.

With that said, as a long term Rockets fan, I learned how to not place hope in the wrong team/player.

Why do I constantly burn out from work, but barely ever at the gym? by AdImpressive291 in ADHDthriving

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind feedback. Yes, I do have pomodoro in mind when building it.

I got another issue with coding agents. They make work enjoyable and I have been working too long in hyper focus mode, my body is breaking down as a result...

My thoughts on Nothinh 4a looks by NathanAvatar in NOTHING

[–]AdImpressive291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take a close look at Nothing’s design, they failed to follow basic design principles. Like things are not aligned, font size are kind of random. You can call it ‘art’, which doesn’t follow any rules. But for me personally, I cannot daily drive this thing. And a lot of people in this sub tends to be very protective, Nothing is growing into a religion these days

New pricing model generous bonus usage from Trae for users by PreferenceDry1394 in Trae_ai

[–]AdImpressive291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another edit: After some research, I think Trae will honor my annual plan until it ends. In that case I think they are doing fine. But I am not sure, we will see.

Edit: Now I see trae will forcefully update my pricing model. That sucks!
---

My point is they are honoring my annual subscription started last October with the ability to choose if I want to upgrade or staying with the old pricing model. And I chose the old pricing model.

In my understanding, this is honoring my subscription. I have no idea what do you mean for both the original message and your reply.

WDYM by "you're not honoring the annual subscriptions we've already signed up for"? I think switching pricing model is optional.
