Is this thing on? So far, no plans to offer Product Hunt blocking 😉. I built this out of growing frustration with how much time I was scrolling mindlessly, and thought it might help other people too. Would love to hear what you think about Feedless!

I like how you've approached this by instrumenting the same approach as mobile ad blockers, @orbuch. Onward is another tool to help with app addiction but it requires you to funnel your traffic through a VPN. I know this is a side project for you (right now) but what's your plan if it takes off, @orbuch?

@rrhoover Thanks! As I mentioned to @patricklu10, VPN would be an obvious stage 2. I think it could take a more technical/utility route or a more community focused route. It's become cool to complain about social media usage and addiction, and I'm not sure how that impacts actual behavior change as opposed to signaling it about this newly acceptable problem. If it starts to take off, it would be important to narrow in the marketing on one or the other. Also, I think there's a potential opportunity with parents. I'll watch how people use it and assess from there! I'm also interested in talking to those who have been researching the space for longer, the folks at http://humanetech.com/ among others.
