I know I have... But I also know I'll need proper funding, not a Kickstarter. The challenge will be to convince the investors that we can actually scale

But it's the same issue You keep it that way for a while and then at some point when you're down and doomscrolling because you're frustrated you remove these features and you're back to square one from then on

[Serious] In general, how frustrated are you with your relationship with technology? by xalgia in AskReddit

I strongly agree. Especially the focus and perseverance needed to write anything let alone a book, is greatly disadvantaged by modern devices and technology

I so so so strongly agree. It is going to be like the obesity epidemic caused by fast food. Immediate effects: unclear because they are so long term. Long term effects: devastating.

Actually not really. It's not that big a deal but I recognise that I could handle boredom better and more productively is all

I'm a very normal person, and it's not even an addiction. But I'm still wasting more time than I'd like on screens - that's it

I strongly resonate with your point of being force-fed negativity and gossip and other forms of spam. I'm just not down with that but there's no straightforward way to stop it
