I can relate to this. I created SuperFocus (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/superfocus-stop-sc...) with a similar idea. Dopamine loop is a big problem. I have tried site blockers / SuperFocus which is a feed blocker but there was something missing and have been looking for the magic solution. Just signed up for Clearspace and immediately felt this is it.

Planning to rewrite SuperFocus later this week to do the same on desktop as most of my time spent is on the desktop browser.




Hey this is great and something I started on working myself. Just a note that if you pin the extension on the extension page itself it gives a very, very confusing message of "SuperFocus works on Youtube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

SuperFocus is not yet available for dboceidahklphhjpfbpnicodnbkoiokn."

thought it was a bug before I realised that must be the chrome extension id, but it's quite likely people will first open the extension on this tab as that's where you teach them to pin it

keep up the good work!
