I'm trying to consume all these comments

I don't think anyone is trying to be mean/overly critical with their comments here. I hope you keep writing/submitting to HN.

Thanks for the feedback! Just updated the site

If you're looking for example use cases, first thought was that it would be fun to see a countdown until my wedding, which I suppose would take the form of "% of engagement completed."

[stunt → mubaris]

Maybe too direct, But why is it paid?

I don't mean it shouldn't be or whatever. I'm just interested to know what is your thought behind "Support the Indie Maker Movement" you've mentioned.

[gzeus → stunt]

It's only 1$.

You cant make something like this in 8.2 mins considering minimum wage is 7.5$ in USA. Why make things for free anyway, people rarely appreciate things they get for free.

[stunt → gzeus]

That really wasn’t the question. I’m not asking why it is not free!

But off topic, > people rarely appreciate things they get for free

If people wouldn’t appreciate it, so many people wouldn’t create so many free software/plugin/tool/book/content.

How does the Reading Progress work? Do you have to update it manually, or does it grab data from somewhere?

Hi HN

Creator of Progress Dashboard here. I've been working on Progress Dashboard for almost a year now. This is a simple chrome extension to replace boring new tab with a useful dashboard. With Progress Dashboard you can access progress bars for year, month, week, day and hour. You can also create one for specific tasks with start and end time. You can select a background from image, gradient or Trianglify. Progress Dashboard comes with a Distraction Free Mode to stay productive. This mode is very minimal and it's dark mode

Good job for the launch :)

A short question:

> Progress Dashboard comes with a Distraction Free Mode to stay productive.

Isn't the progress dashboard a distraction in itself? That's at least my experience with those kind of tool, but I didn't try "Progress Dashboard" to be honest.

Which part of it took you a year to write?

[mubaris → FromThePast]

It's a side project. I work on it when I have free time

Their post titles are doubly encrypted hexa decimals. And the titles are

* BEWARE * DANGER DANGER * MESSAGE ONE * IT BEGINS
