> P.S. Since I bought all these products to test out of my own pocket and that I use Apple ecosystem devices, it's only natural that some of the options listed are Apple centric. That being said, I'm saving up to get some more Google/Windows related devices to test!

This is fine and understandable, but things like AirPods really need something like "fully functional only with macOS/iOS" listed in their cons, since this restriction negates several listed pros for majority of the population.

Thank you for the feedback. I 100% agree and will look at adding something along those lines in the next update.

I was initially under the impression that people in other tech ecosystems may not even consider the AirPods for exactly that reason, but now that I think about it, people not familiar with certain Apple products may not know about the lack of compatibility in the first place.

Super valid and useful bit of feedback, so thank you so much for sharing your perspective .

I’m not affiliated with them but you should check out “brick” I just bought one myself. It’s an rfid device you have to tap your phone on to unlock and lock apps.

I usually “brick” my phone when I go upstairs to bed and unbrick it when I go back downstairs so I don’t scroll in bed.

This is a neat collection! Have you considered adding an RSS feed for when you put new items on the list?

Thank you! I hadn't yet thought of that because I'm new to building stuff like this by myself, but I will put it on the list of things to research/add. One of my next steps was to add an email newsletter opt-in. May I ask whether that would fulfil the same function or do you think RSS would be better? If the latter, I'd appreciate if you could share your thinking :)

It would work the same for me, if only because I'd redirect the email to my RSS reader (via Feedbin[0] or Kill the Newsletter[1] or similar)! I suspect most people who care about RSS would do the same, but the Webflow docs[2] show it being pretty straightforward to set up, and (imo) it's an easy backup hedge against all your comms getting stuck in spam filters. Plus, it just feels more ADHD-friendly to me to reduce ping noise as much as possible.
