Howdy 👋!
My name is Artur and I am an addict.
I became worried about mindlessly opening Facebook app and scrolling with no purpose.
I didn't feel ready to delete the app yet, so I made this "decoy" that pretends to be Facebook, but opens Pocket or Kindle.
After 1 month of that I was ready to ditch the Facebook app.
I am not commenting on recent Cambridge Analytica revelations, but what bothered me the most was how addicted I became to just opening the app. Waiting for the build to finish, waiting in a queue - I had a quick fix that wasted my time.
Breaking habit loop requires replacing one habit with the other, so I substituted fb with @pocket articles and it worked.
Love it! Using it with Twitter, the only thing that really bothers me is that it’s not the actual Twitter icon but a weird skeuomorphic-looking one. Any chance of fixing this?
