Nice effort! Though, it seems like this extension's functionality greatly overlaps that of StayFocusd's (1). Is there any "killer" feature to get me (and other StayFocusd users) to switch over?<p>(1) <a href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/laankejkbhbdhmip...</a>
I was a co-founder of 8aweek.com (YCW08) which was a similar concept for firefox.<p>See screen shots: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6562/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6562/</a><p>The trouble about doing it for one browser is that your other browsers quickly come into use.<p>One system wide fix is to edit your hosts file: <a href="http://thingsilearned.com/2007/05/04/combating-internet-addiction/" rel="nofollow">http://thingsilearned.com/2007/05/04/combating-internet-addi...</a><p>but it only blocks you from sites instead of giving you nice time limits. And it becomes too easy to change back.<p>I wish there was something that offered the limit functionality but for all browsers/access but currently i know of nothing.<p>RescueTime (YC W08)'s Get Focused app is the best implementation of this I've seen.
You've just inspired me to mention my Safari Extension MindfulBrowsing - that does a similar thing. It's been up for a few weeks now, but I hadn't posted it here. Perhaps thanks to you, I don't need to do a chrome port now!<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1745790" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1745790</a>
