It's just a MVP... version 0.01 of their vision. The fact that they have paying users who use them daily is a very, very good signal - that's a hard thing to do! It's so much easie…

Hey HN! We built a chrome extension that lets you load your calendar from any website quickly without switching context (i.e. switch to another tab or app). I personally have a bus…

Totally get your friend's concern. Google is kinda bad in that they bundle a bunch of permissions into one (i.e. - all data read and changed...etc); we only need a small subset of …

Thanks! Love to hear what you think

Thank you! Definitely.

Thank you! Would love to learn your thoughts :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I see, that's very valid. I've added it to our todo list - don't block if it's not the active tab.

Thanks for recommending that. We actually do one better - we not only count time when browser tab is active, but also stop counting time when we don't detect activity or video play…

Firefox coming soon!

Thank you! That sounds very valid - when we built this, we had the working mentality, but unwanted distraction when relaxing would definitely be useful for ourselves.

Thanks for sharing! Agreed that both of these solutions are helpful, and I've seen many friends using them. For me personally, I wanted a more all-in-one solution, so we actually b…

The vision is definitely much broader :) The immediate steps are desktop and mobile.

Thanks so much for this! I've saved this analysis and will keep it in mind as we decide to move toward this direction. Agreed with all three of your points; we can definitely have …

That's a very interesting thought. Yes agreed - StickK has a lot of user complaints so we would need to execute much better. A lot of these complaints arise from the fact that Stic…

Yes! It's on our roadmap. Android is easier than Apple due to developer API constraints, but we plan on tackling the mobile problem very soon (in the next 1-2 month).

Agreed; it's definitely not trivial. We will definitely tackle mobile very soon, and this is a potential solution. Thanks!

That's actually similar to what my other co-founder told me when I tried to make this! It turned out, however, that our own willpower can be supplemented by tools. For example, som…

We fully agree with this! Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion - yes that is definitely something we've thought about and will possibly implement. We'll be tackling the mobile problem soon, and we hope to use our lear…

Thanks. Yes - it's definitely an area we will tackle very soon. We just recently got our extension to a state where people are finding it useful; we plan on using our learnings on …

Thank you! Really glad to hear that.
