TLDR built a Chrome site blocker that lets you into distracting sites only after you do some math or simple coding (JS only right now). Direct link to extension (the site just gives you more context): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sphinx-earn-your-di... Philosophically it's a speed bump rather than a hard gate, because you'll eventually tear a gate down but you'll leave a speed bump. I've always eventually removed site blockers, or just had them become a nuisance that I reflexively dismiss before getting to distracting sites. Site blockers don't really reduce the "start navigating to a distracting site" muscle memory, and they eventually just become annoying. Dopamine is a hell of a drug. At the same time, I've been getting frustrated that my intermediate/advanced math skills have atrophied, and becoming more senior in my career (plus AI...) has caused my coding skills to atrophy even further. Realistically I'm not going to force myself to do math or coding exercises aft

I've been building For when you just can't start anything. Dump all your thoughts, AI breaks it down, rate each one, then based on your energy level one task at a time. Has an overwhelm mode to help you regulate when things are just too hard. LIVE!!

My kid asked me to make a game for her, not to download but to create, so I fired up Claude Code and after an evening, produced three games all of which you can now play on your phone. Tap Tap Blocks ( ) is built from a nine-tile grid of animals, all of which respond when you tap them, and a MAGIC button, because every game needs one. And that’s all there is to it – because that’s all there should be to it, for a little girl. Emoji Wonderland ( ) has six realms – garden, ocean, space, jungle, food, animals – and you get to pop the emojis and drag them around to gather them – it was my favourite game to make, which is not always the case. and Lucky Vegas ( ) has five reels, a paytable, an auto-play function, and a $50,000 jackpot of entirely fictional cash, for which I am grateful, as I was the only one playing. But it was using Twemoji that made them feel like real games, and not just crude experiments with clip-ar

Lately I have been into : eating healthy (Mexican-style baked sweet potatoes😍) and building things with Claude Code. check out this sticky note wall I built yesterday.

I struggled with procrastination for years, so I built an AI discipline app – looking for beta testers (3 months free) Hey everyone, ​For the longest time, my biggest problem was staying disciplined and actually executing my plans. I would set goals, get overwhelmed, and fall back into bad habits. ​To fix my own mindset, I built UNBREAKABLE : A web app featuring a Monk Mode timer, daily discipline tracking, and AI tools like the "War Room" to break down excuses and structure your week.

Describe your biggest productivity problem in ONE sentence. No long stories. No paragraphs. Just one sentence. I'm building an AI habit tracker, and I want to understand what people actually struggle with—not what I assume they struggle with. I'll read every reply, and if enough people mention the same problem, I'll build a solution for it. Let's see what the biggest challenge really is. 👇 submitted by /u/ZAQROAI to r/buildinpublic [link]

Someone said my app was "obviously AI" so i spent two weeks fixing that Rated a load of real responses against what a good friend would actually say and rebuilt it. Now it digs for the real thing instead of parroting you, says one sharp thing not five. Does it land now? https://theuntangleapp.com submitted by /u/Ankur141194 to r/SideProject [link] [comments]

create multiplayer apps that you can play with friends or share with coworkers. Like Slido/Kahoot but you can create your own one with AI. It can build polls, quizzes or games. had this idea for a while, the space isn't new and there is apps like Kahoot that presenters or educators use for polling/quizzes. however the templates are limited, so I decided to ship my own vibe-coding IDE for generating these. you just describe it for example "noise meter: people scream at their phon
