I wrote a few bash scripts with my pi and a remote NodeJS server to capture timelapse photos of my jalapeno plant growing and compiled them with ffmpeg.

Here's my writeup if anyone's interested, and a few gifs of the results.

Why not just have the self control to not use the phone 24/7

I completely agree that turning of notifications is incredibly valuable, and I do this myself. That being said, it's not that easy for many people who are tied to email or Slack or anything else.

If self control were as simple as throwing a switch, we'd all be Olympian heroes of might and mind, and apps/smart phones are just another example of a "utility" that preys on human weaknesses.
