Good points, thanks a lot! Yes ear piece should be great. But how about using it with Apple or Android buds simultaneously?

I’ll share it at Medium. Thanks for mention this Twitter feature

Thanks a lot! It takes a lot of time and effort to write and rewrite it

Why do these tech giants receive GPT-4 access much earlier than regular seed startups? Is it fair?!
1g0rrr··on Show HN: ShinyTimer – gadget and blocking extension to get rid of distractions
Hi all! Many of us use pomodoro technique to focus on our work. There are many apps that help with this. The most popular one is Forest.

But the smartphone is a source of distraction itself. Before you can open the app you have to unlock your phone, see notifications, see alluring social media icons, etc. That's why we thought it was better to use a separate device for this.

ShinyTimer - made in the shape of a simple button with a screen. When you click on it, it starts the timer and blocks distracting sites with the chrome extension. There's also a colored glowing around the device that lets people around you know you're trying to focus and better bother you a little later.

There is an analog called Timechi, which gather around 250k$ on Indiegogo, but they struggle with manufacturing for two years. We can do better.

What do you think of the idea?

Thanks for the feedback!

Hey guys! Sorry for the loud title.

My friend and I made a workout timer that is different from others. We have a glowing RGB band around the device, which helps you see it from a distance and when you look at it from glance. With this you can avoid beeping sounds which annoyed surrounding people. But the timer is visible enough to make it easy to read the workout mode.

We also made a simple interface with just one big button. And made some other nice features, which you can see in our video.

We own a small hardware workshop with 2 paid workers, where we build flashlights for another project, so we decided to sell the timers right away and make it there. Timers are now made from a case from another timer (we just bought it online) and a 3D print. Despite this "hacky" build it turned out pretty good looking in our opinion.

In fact our reference was the timer "Timebirds", which raised over $1 million on Kickstarter. So timers seemed like a good niche. But they ended up making a really bad device that got trashed on YouTube.

So what do you think? Would such a device be useful to you or people you know?

And that's just one thing that seemed important to you? )
1g0rrr··on Show HN: DailyMap – build your own planner using mind maps
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, local/reliable hosting is something to think about. For now, the app made with Firebase. If there will be enough demand for the app I can make another option in the future.

Thanks! That was the main goal. Glad that you noted this.

Just try again please, or try another sing up method. There are small and known bugs with login, but the app itself should work.

Yes, there is ‘Copy next day’ option to move branches. You can see how it works on the first demo video. This approach (without auto carry over) helps the user to start a new day with a fresh interface. Because usually, task managers get messy with old tasks after some time.

Hi, I wanted to make a planning system that would be simple on the one hand, and on the other hand, could be assembled for individual needs like a constructor. I played with mind maps for some time and in the end, the system appears quite consistent. What do you think?
