I used to have script that would gradually dim my display unless I typed.

The broader issue for me isn’t a particular website. It’s brain-dead consumption of feeds. Typing guarantees that you’re thinking a little.

Even with email, it made me less likely to overthink things. It gave a bias to action. Keep moving, keep typing.

I had a whitelist of exceptions (IntelliJ, Terminal, etc).

Unfortunately the script broke a few years ago. I keep on meaning to fix it but I’ve been too busy reading feeds.
