Yeah, it all would depend on traffic level. And for that, I first need to learn how to get media coverage.

It is actually a continuation of this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21613364#21614731
I have started doing this app last Friday and it's driven by the community feedback.
Thanks :-)
And it is ready! It is made as an extension to Chrome. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/how-much-does-my-f...
I have tried to take into account your comments to make it positive and customizable.
Thanks :)
Agree, but time & money definitely correlate, so I think it's fine to have it as money for motivation.
Fair point. But I bet you have earned quite a good experience from building that app. And it was an idea that could be profitable. It's never 100% guaranty.
That's a great idea! Thanks!
Exactly, that was the takeout from this discussion.
I'm going to make functionality to assign a rate for each website, a positive or negative one. Even rates for different parts of the website. Also, a potentially useful feature is to make a cap, like the first 30 min per day does not count.
sorry, what?
There is an idea to assign a positive hourly rate for good time spent and a negative hourly rate to other activities in the internet. The app would track that time spend and show balance to gamify productivity rise.
This is the current idea of how to approach the challenges you have mentioned.
Definitely, thanks.
I see.
Are there activities that you would consider productive (you would like to do more) and activities that are non-productive?

Thanks, awesome materials!
:D Sure
That's a very good point, however, then it becomes much more complex.
time spent on a distracting platform is useless because in reality the overwhelming majority of people don't have an additional income source where that time can be invested in
Was thinking to propose options for that, e.g. give a link guides how to make a side income, for example, Upwork, creation of youtube channel, etc.
To make it positive is a good challenge as well. I can introduce some scores that would take into account a ratio between time spent on a productive vs non-productive website and show the result as an icon that shows a summary for a day, like learning, leisure, work.
Do you have specific ideas on how to make it more positive?
That's a good idea.
I plan to use this list as a base https://www.reddit.com/r/BLOCK/comments/3ehiy4/distracting_w...
