    Hi again, HN. Three weeks ago, I showcased my impulse control PWA, "Nope It," here on HN. The discussion and feedback I received were incredible, and I'm hugely grateful to this co…

    You've completely flipped the script. I absolutely love this idea. I'm going to explore adding a "Days of Freedom" calculation mode in future updates.

    I’d genuinely love to hear the feedbacks. For those of you who’ve tried the app how’s the experience been so far? Has it helped you pause, reflect, or rethink any of your impulse b…

    Thanks a ton. Honestly, I’ve always been user zero of this app. I went through a bunch of versions before launching because I wanted it to create just the right amount of friction …

    The viewpoint you shared is great because applications need to build trust through initial valuable experiences rather than hiding features behind paywall. I’ve been really intenti…

    This seems like an awesome idea. I am adding this to my roadmap, you might see it in the app soon. Thanks

    That’s a great idea. Currently, my app focuses on preventing unnecessary spending and directing that "almost spent" money into savings, but I'm definitely noting this feedback. Con…

    Show HN: Turn impulse buys into dream investments
