it takes a bit of time for llm to process. After first login-free use—login is used to prevent repeated free use abuse (It does cost us significant LLM credits) It is still free though after login

Good point thank you. Just updated!

Happy to answer any q's

Timer hidden. Dark mode addded!

Hover on top of page to choose bg/contrast

Its slow now :)

Using tailwind. Animation should be slower and smoother now

updated with slower time to match animation with optimal inhale.exhale time

Thanks for the feedback. Slowed down and contrast issues have been addressed!

haha love these ideas

Thank you for the great suggestions! Will add them to the list

I would also like to know! Breathwork is important and it'd be nice to follow some routines and also somehow track my breath during sessions or throughout the day

thanks for the feedback! Yea not intentional. Just made it smooth out at bit at the end

Good question on how much boost. I'm not sure. Will try to dig up the original studies

Ack. Just applied a fix on the scroll. Not sure what to do with when mobile phone goes to sleep. Will look into it

good feedback! thanks

:/

cool. so exhale longer than inhaling and repeat multiple times. I think this works. thanks for sharing

Haha. Well have you tried meditation?

Sorry :D Back to your task!

huberman talking about visual focus + brain effects - https://youtu.be/CrtR12PBKb0?t=3367

Haha yea. Thanks!

Thanks. I will check it. Let me know if it helps you with mental focus after (It actually does for me).

Not a coder. Went from idea to working app in a day

Basically prompted it to setup basic code for electron app then iterated over and over on any errors, issues and feature developments

1/ Make it Obvious - Cue The first obstacle to overcome when building a new habit is to make sure you don’t forget and be able to act on it.

Cues can come in different forms:

Physical environment cue:

- Leave my journal with pen open next to my bed

Behavioral cue:

- Do my 10 minutes of meditation right after I have my morning coffee (using an existing habit as a cue is called ‘habit stacking’)

Social cue:

- Make my friend an accountability partner so we check-in on each other on our new habits.

2/ Make it Desirable - Craving Dopamine, the neurochemical associated with motivation, is activated before an anticipated event.

In other words, the desirability of your action drives your motivation.

How do we make habits more desirable?

Add delight:

- Put on your favorite cologne/perfume when you workout.

- Do it at the right time

- Do your workout when you are most motivated (don't overestimate yourself)

- Think opportunistically

Add 'I get to..' to any difficult habit.

'I get to workout because I'm not sick.'

3/ Make it Easy - Response Simply taking action is more valuable than optimizing for the best method or strategy.

And for habit building— simply putting in more reps is more valuable and increase likelihood of success than less reps—even if with more intensity.

Here’s how to make habits easier:

- Just start doing it for 2 minutes

- Make the first step within reach

- Make the first step simple and quick to do

4/ Make it Satisfying - Reward Rewards—especially immediate and unpredictable ones—are key for habit building. They release dopamine and wire us with increased motivation.

Delayed rewards and the same boring ones also aren’t motivating which is why it’s best when the rewards are variable/random and immediate.

Attach rewards to your habit efforts:

- Pick a reward with unpredictability

- Chat with a friend about their day on the way back from the gym.

- Share your progress

- Tell a friend, share on social, accountability partner/group..etc about how you did.

- Track visually

Use a habit tracker or check list to feel good every time you check off what you've done

Thank you Daun for your honest feedack on your experience with Squad. So glad that you were able to make so much daily progress on your reading and feel great about it! It’s been a pleasure having you in the last group :)

Hi, I'm Junu, founder/designer of Squad— a solution that helps people more effectively make progress on their goals & daily habits (https://www.joinsquad.co).

We have been running 10-day accountability challenges with small groups of people. After joining their first challenge, over 40% of people have rejoined so far. And over 85% have checked-in daily and finished until the end of the 10 days.

Below are some examples of daily commitments that members have made great progress on in a previous Squad challenge:

"I will commit to reading at least 15 pages of a business book daily before I commute or before I go to bed"

"I will write at least 150 words for 30 minutes after my morning run."

"I will write 500 words every day for a paper I need to hand in mid-August at 6 pm BST."

The next Squad challenge start next Tuesday August 9 @ 12pm GMT. You can also sign up here - https://forms.gle/EkXaFUFgdnuL9vSZ8

Comment if you have any questions or thoughts:)

Yea putting collaboration upfront is great feedback. It's is what we are releasing soon so will do that!

As for annotation part, making annotations with Windows snip tool..etc take multiple clicks and switching of apps. We are working on making this into as few clicks as possible as well as adding hotkeys for adding arrows..etc — to make it even quicker

Yea I understand why you might prefer dictation or a way to process your audio locally. The intent was to provide voice messaging with transcription. Not necessarily provide text as the only output—which dictation is designed for

Not designed for random matching, but we're beta testing a free always-on voice app for remote teams for anyone interested - https://www.presence.so
