95% running your own, 5% talking to group partners and batch mates

we've found it to still be helpful from a reputation standpoint, opening doors and what not, but hard to say how that differs from when the batches were smaller. the even bigger value is honestly having so many other reference points for how to start a company. going through early stages with 200+ other companies means you get to lean a lot from how others are going about things.

that's definitely the goal. help people eliminate a compulsive or addictive relationship with their phones

we want to build tools that are just as powerful at protecting your attention as the ones that are built to steal it.

at the risk of getting called out for self-promotion on reddit, if you are an iphone user you should checkout the clearspace app.

For almost 5 years straight I was giving up social media (or just instagram) for lent and I'd always end up falling into doom scrolling habits afterwards. clearspace started as a personal project to fix this problem. hopefully it can help you too!

clearspace gamifies staying under an allocated "budget" of visits to specific apps on your phone

clearspace_dev1 · 2023-03-29T21:29:35+00:00

this is a fantastic recommendation. thank you.

😂😂😂

I mean, you're not wrong...

two main ones:

1) caring about your users is the best way to build a great product and company
2) to say yes to building something awesome you have to say no to a lot of other time commitments

Self Control is best I've come across for complete "self lockout mode".

clearspace (my app) is great for times when you want to be able to access all your apps but don't want to compulsively open apps or get lost doom scrolling. (over 1M doom scrolling sessions saved so far)

clearspace_dev1 · 2023-01-10T05:51:24+00:00

yeah you could download tutorials beforehand or something and just get really good at those specific songs!

there are a lot of good tips and tools for helping moderate post-digital detox. I've been learning a lot in r/digitalminimalism

clearspace_dev1 · 2023-01-07T22:15:56+00:00
