Woke up questioning the project. The goal was to build an 'off-ramp' from doomscrolling, but my app currently has no exit. It's just a different road Gotta add something to make it truely “5 min exit from doomscrolling”

Is a "break" app still addictive if the content is calming?

The twist I didn't see coming: the app is too seamless. The content is calming, but the endless swipe is still there. I think I may have just built a less stressful TikTok clone.

I've been testing my app for a few hours. There's a weird feeling I can't shake. It works, but something feels wrong. Like it feels like tik tok scroll but not quite

The vertical scroll is starting to work. Looks like Tiktok now It's still a bit janky, but it's progress.

Quick question: Besides scrolling social media, what's your go-to way to take a real 5-minute break from work?

First technical hurdle: TabView in SwiftUI defaults to a horizontal swipe. Not the feel I want. Looking into a fix. Want to give a tiktok like experience

The plan is a clean feed of calming videos. No comments, no likes, just a space to reset. Your 5 min break from doomscrolling - Focus Bridge

My "5-minute break" on TikTok or insta consistently turns into 45 minutes of doomscrolling I’m building an app to solve this

Doomscrolling kills momentum. So I’m building Focus Bridge - a 5-min tool that resets. No shaming, no blocking. Just enough to break the loop. Launching soon. Curious if you’d use it

Building Focus Bridge - a micro-reset app a 5-min exit from doomscrolling. It’s not a blocker. It’s not a to-do list. Just a tiny nudge back to focus.
