Hi HN! After catching myself doomscrolling way too often, I got obsessed with this problem. Everyone talks about it, but real fixes are scarce. So I quit my job to tackle it.My first attempt was an app that intentionally made social media apps more annoying (https://speedbumpapp.com). It reminded me when I'd been scrolling for too long. But I still had to resist the urge to uninstall it - just like how my brain ignored Apple's Screen Time warnings.Back at the drawing board, I noticed a pattern: people who don't doomscroll are just too busy for that. When my calendar is filled with friends or sports, I can't waste time on the couch.This led me to Pushscroll, which helps you replace doomscroll

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
