I have started doing this app last Friday and it's driven by the community feedback.

Thanks :-)

Out of curiosity, have you thought of putting an affiliate link there to monetize? Are there plans for extensions for other browsers?

Yeah, it all would depend on traffic level. And for that, I first need to learn how to get media coverage.

And it is ready! It is made as an extension to Chrome. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/how-much-does-my-f...

I have tried to take into account your comments to make it positive and customizable.

Agree, but time & money definitely correlate, so I think it's fine to have it as money for motivation.

Fair point. But I bet you have earned quite a good experience from building that app. And it was an idea that could be profitable. It's never 100% guaranty.

I learned a lot, but quite a bit that made me cynical.

Marketing is very important, but I'll never have a marketing budget big enough to compete. With that thought, odds aren't much better than the lottery.

Next time I won't do advert based mobile games, that's for sure.

That's a great idea! Thanks!

sorry, what?

translation: "Thank you for the reminder."

Thanks :)

Definitely, thanks.

I see.

Are there activities that you would consider productive (you would like to do more) and activities that are non-productive?

There is an idea to assign a positive hourly rate for good time spent and a negative hourly rate to other activities in the internet.

The app would track that time spend and show balance to gamify productivity rise.

You definitely have to make the hourly customizable. Just stating the obvious but people value things differently.

They could assign a positive rate for Reddit time.

Exactly, that was the takeout from this discussion.

I'm going to make functionality to assign a rate for each website, a positive or negative one. Even rates for different parts of the website. Also, a potentially useful feature is to make a cap, like the first 30 min per day does not count.

Thanks, awesome materials!
