That’s a fair point. I don’t see it as the antidote for people who are addicted though. It’s just a nice place for people who want to engage less. I’m definitely aware it won’t be a big thing.

If you’re looking for an actual antidote to the addiction, I don’t think that will exist in the form of a product, that will come from individuals themselves if it ever does.

Hey, sorry about that. I mistakenly believed that my email template had an unsubscribe button built in. I will make sure that the next one has one. If you want to message me your email directly I can remove you so you don't even receive the next notification that the site is opening back up.

What do you mean you can't sign in though? I will add password resetting soon but I'm curious if you're running into an issue with the login system.

That's pretty close to what I'm thinking. If you remove the endless, always-on nature of social media, could it create better content and better experiences? "Better" is subjective of course, so it is hard to have a tight hypothesis.

Lol I am honestly. I just changed it to 7:39pm EST tomorrow but that won't even be right in EST for much longer...

It was only a matter of time before that happened.

haha I'm with you on the too silly side of it, but I have some time to run the experiment and see where I can go with it.

Yes, was not expecting it to hit as much of an audience as it did at the end there. Definitely need some mechanisms to stop the spam it saw at the end.

Ah, just fixed this! Should say 20h now. It was an issue yesterday but I just let Cursor write something without checking.

My college's class scheduling website also had hours of operation. One of the rumors was that it would stop students from drunkenly dropping all of their classes, but the real truth was that it was based on an old system that needed to process things overnight and they couldn't get funding to modernize it. This was UMD -- it was notorious when I was there for being annoying but still cracks me up.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I do think it could have some cool dynamics but that is what I'm testing right now.

Neat app, simple and well done. I wonder if you could allow people to create their own riddles and rank them by difficulty and satisfaction rate with upvotes.

Yiannis is a fantastic professor, probably my favorite during undergrad at Maryland.
