Show HN: I made and app to stop living on autopilot (apps.apple.com)
1 points by pabloschz 119 days ago
Hey, I'm Pablo and I feel like we are wasting our lives scrolling on social media. Sadly they are somehow necessary, and deleting them is not the solution but intentional usage is. That's why I built this app. I'm planning to go deep and improve it as much as possible, as I think this is one of the biggest problems we're facing as a society right now. It's free to try for a few days, hope you like it.

Actually, you don't need to install something to not do something. In the first instance, it works better when you just don't have social media.

However, the ability to resist social media looks to me like a part of natural selection, and this is not something that you'd be able to improve with any software. This is a 'hardware' problem.

I agree it's a hardware problem but don't agree that you can not improve it with software.
yea, using an app is like trying to fix it with a pill

permanent change needs to come from within
