Show HN: Open-source VSCode extension to remind you to talk to users

1 pointsby avikalpabout 1 year ago
It started with a tweet by @BuildWithEvan where he proposed an IDE that randomly stops you and pops up a message:<p>&quot;Hey, have you spent any time talking to customers or marketing this product today?&quot;<p>So... that is what I built.<p>The whole concept stems from the observation that many builders get so engrossed in building that they forget about talking to users or working on growth and distribution. This either leads them to build something nobody wants or something amazing that nobody uses or knows about.<p>This extension introduces a simple nudge that can solve this problem. It can be configured as per the duration of a focus session of the user so that they are not interrupted during their focus time.
