Show HN: Gradually slow the infinite scroll of Reddit/Twitter

4 pointsby _vaporwave_7 months ago
Many people try to limit their screen time and I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;m not the only one who found the existing tools lacking. Mostly, they consist of locking yourself out of accessing some websites after a certain amount of time or during certain hours of the day. The problem with these is that - as long as you have the unlock code - you still need to have the willpower to avoid turning them off.<p>This led me down the path of making the content itself less interesting; to break down the carefully crafted feedback loop that leads to endless scrolling.<p>Sleeping Policeman is my attempt to create a gentile nudge to lower screen time. It slowly adds a delay to each request over the course of the day until content takes long enough to load that you find something better to do.<p>Would love to hear your feedback!
