Hacker News Reader

RSS is the big time-sink for me. It never stops, and I feel the need to clean it out.

* Facebook/Reddit/Twitter/HackerNews (sorry)

* delete your twitter/facebook clients from your phone

* delete RSS reader (I still checked Google Reader, but browsed selectively every 4-5 days)

If 30 days is too much, we're launching a free app that lets you cut off social media for 30 minutes at a time.

We also have a pro version that lets you customize your whitelist and blacklist.

We hope you use the time to make some awesome stuff!

Amazing! If you can charge 10 dollars a month for something which really doesn't do much and for which there are many free alternatives (some even provided by you) then I applaud. Do you have any paying customers at the moment?

We're just launching the pro version now. The parent post is more promotion than just about anything we've done so far. But I'm a fan of transparency, and would be happy to share numbers in a month or three.

Same, sounds like a good idea.
