Show HN: I created a Chrome extension to help keep good posture while browsing

13 点作者 killa_kyle超过 2 年前
Hey HN, this is a small project I created that blurs your browser window whenever you start slouching. I&#x27;m sure it can be improved, but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone was interested. Links to the github repo [0] and the extension on the Chrome Webstore [1]. I&#x27;d love to get some feedback on it.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;killa-kyle&#x2F;posture-posture-posture-chrome-extension" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;killa-kyle&#x2F;posture-posture-posture-chrome...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;posturepostureposture&#x2F;ekleaenhplpaiincbdkbebmeccfgmbll" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;postureposturepost...</a>

I appreciate the tech and effort that went into this, but the assessment criteria could maybe be given a few options to suit individual desires&#x2F;needs.<p>(Plus I need one to tell me to stop standing too much, or standing but not moving maybe, after incurring some foot problems due to excessive standing desk use during covid lockdown)<p>However, my neighbour is a career academic with a PhD in human factors, and just last Friday was telling me he had been searching for statistical validation for twenty years that maintaining &quot;good posture&quot; while sitting was beneficial, and has yet to be able to come up with anything even vaguely statistically meaningful.<p>His take is, any sitting posture is bad for you, if maintained or preferred excessively.<p>Seems you are good however, as long as you change often enough to balance out or average out the various &quot;curl up&quot; and &quot;stretch out&#x2F;arching&quot; positions.<p>This is unless you have a particular injury, or scoleosis etc and have certain positions you need to avoid.<p>Otherwise, just slouch around, but change semi regularly.<p>So it would be good if somehow it could tell you too much curl, too much arch&#x2F;stretch, or too long in one position, instead of deviation from an absolute. But this starts getting complicated on first inspection.<p>The desire for &quot;good&quot; posture, along with many other things, falls into the category of &quot;are you telling me something you know, or something that someone told you?&quot;.<p>Question everything.

Heh, I like this. But I also keep reading that simply holding &quot;good&quot; posture is not helpful, and that changing position (including to slouch, recline, rest on a elbow etc) protects against muscle spasm from holding the same position. I suppose this implementation could help with that too though. Slouch a bit, get reminded to lean back, repeat etc.

Super creative! Other people have mentioned the issues with static posture for too long, so I won&#x27;t go there. But I like how you&#x27;ve set up the landing page. Easy to demo, straight and to the point. Nice.

Interesting idea. I wonder if it would be better if the camera was from the side instead of the front (I know this isn&#x27;t really doable for most). The thought process here is, should there be a calibration routine to compensate not just for the height of the monitor but also the position of the webcam? As I write this, I am using very bad posture--slouching back, head craned forward, etc, but my eyes would be in the &quot;green&quot; area on a 2D plane. Two lenses would help a bit with depth perception from the front.. so two webcams.. one from the monitor&#x27;s bezel and one from the external webcam.

Congrats on your launch. I just found that there was a company with similar idea made into YC. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=28278618" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=28278618</a><p>Small idea can sometimes turn into something big. Keep it up.
