Profile

I've never posted on ShowHN before, but I wanted to share my Xmas 2025 project; to try a new approach to controlling our kids screen time.This also involved massively over-engineering a solution in order to play with a shiny new gadget (and avoid the in laws at Christmas, obviously)I've shared some learnings on AI coding with embedded devices, and how I approached the product design/hardware selection side of things.The Web App is at https://screenie.org - and I'm Open Sourcing the device and web app code later today (links to follow on that site)

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
