I would also love to hear what kinds of plugins the HN Community would like to see. At the moment I'm thinking about the following:

- Github: this would allow you to set goals based on reviewing PRs, closing tickets, reading GH notifications etc.

- Homelab/Zapier/IFTTT: this would allow some kind of funny things like turning off lights or locking locks if you don't complete your goals. I don't have any smarthome stuff, so this would be hard for me to personally build.

- Notion/Obsidian/Jira/Trello

- Google/Apple Calendar: this could help people focus on meetings instead of (for example) scrolling HN

I wonder if you could set it as a sensor for Home Assistant, then we could build our own smart home automations outside of the app instead of you needing to do anything.

How do home assistant sensors work? I've thought about adding a webhook capability. Would it be something like that?

[eightysixfour]

There's a push and a poll model for home assistant sensors: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/integration_fetchi...

Pretty easy to set-up a webhook trigger for automations in home assistant as well: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#webho...

I was thinking about ways for the app to receive webhooks, but being able to send webhooks is an even better idea! I'm going to start writing down some thoughts for creating generic webhook triggers. That should also work for zapier (and possibly IFTTT) as well.
