Nice to hear that :)


Hey HN, Really excited to share my project here. My idea was to help people to stay focused and get things done. Simply set yourself a time limit for your web session and your tabs will get closed automatically. You can also track your web time and get daily statistics. To make things easier there is a simple cheat sheet.


After looking at the website, I don't understand what it is or how I would use it. Maybe an explanation of the technology or some diagrams might help me.


Thank you for the feedback!! I never thought about that aspect. You just set the minutes and the website you want to visit and start browing.

My idea was to make it as clean as possible so I don't have space for much explanation. What do you think about starting with something like: "How long you want to browse the web? ... minutes"


As clean as possible for who? You've probably devoted many hours to thinking about the tool. I'll probably give your webpage two or three minutes of my time. If you are very very very lucky, someone else might click on a link to your page. That person probably won't spend much time trying to figure out what it is and if they can't their answer to "should I care?" will be null because they won't bother asking that question without knowing what it is.

Which of your ideas is more important, being as clean as possible or people using the tool? To me, the hard thing about good design -- and part of what makes it distinguishable from art -- is that good design is designed for someone other than the designer.
