Good choice for making it inline

Love the fact that you didn’t put it behind the sign up wall

This makes it more accessible for many!

We decided to make it open source so you can add your codes and share it with your friends.

Love the live demo on the home page! Well done!

Got some cool ideas from this app. Would be great if you would release newsletter as well to get monthly digests.

Great for launching products to inform your network via WhatsApp

Gonna use it right away for one of my project, thanks!

We don't store anything, everything is in the localstorage. We only use Google Analytics without any custom code, we don't use it to track specific metrics. The app is open-source, you can have a look at the code.

$3 donation is never going to get us rich, especially when the conversation rate for such apps are normally below 5% of the user base. The primary reason for asking donation is to measure and validate your idea. One of the way to check your market-fit is to who's freely willing to pay for it.

The other reason is to cover our Heroku cost ($7 per month) and any other costs (e.g. domain name, the time we put in making/maintaining it, etc.). Nevertheless, please can just ignore and continue using the app for free.

But thanks for the feedback, you are right about the message, we thought it's too long to describe it all, but we'll try to come up with a better and clearer message.

I used to remove apps but I'd end up re-installing them after a while. Unlearning a habit (aka forming a new habits to replace the old one) is about having a proper cue (referring to the habit loop from the "The Power of Habit" book). The fake app acts as a cue/signal to remind you about your goal and boost learning the new habit of not visiting the app randomly based on the habit.

By installing the fake app, you'll be surprised how many times you unconsciously you open them, although you are aware that they are fake apps. It feels like our brain is on auto-pilot, once we're hooked/addicted to instinctively open addictive apps.

@faeyanpiraat described it very well: "It can put an icon on your homescreen looking like an app that you want to stop using. Then when you try to instinctively open for example twitter, a simple page comes up that counts how many times you tried opening it. To make it work open the page, click a popular app click the install button then follow the instructions."

We're far from having a good UX, so please feel free to provide your suggestions, or contribute directly to the repo (it's open source).

We would like to hear you feedback so keep them coming:)

Cool! Just started using it for two of my websites, thanks!

Awesome! Gonna use it for my next side project.

Looks fun!

This is the first resource I look up when I land into a country while traveling. It gives you a better idea of what to look for in Yelp and other foodie platforms.

Cool! Finally the web version, this is more handy than the mobile app for me.
