Show HN: I made Duolingo but for screen time

I built this app based on personal needs. I am always unmotivated and procrastinating from working, due to social media addiction. Therefore, I built this effective tool and I think you should try it out as well :)
codingdave•7mo ago
The term you may be looking for is "gamification" - Duolingo uses gamification to encourage progress on learning a language, you are using it for encouraging staying focus on tasks. But if you say this is like Duolingo, people are going to think it is about learning languages and your marketing is going to be confusing.
cchc•7mo ago
thank you so much for the valuable feedback. you're absolutely right, I'll proceed with "gamification" from now on!

I was hoping this was an app that forced you to learn languages before opening instagram. Doesn’t seem to be the case at all, in which case I’m not sure why this is titled “Duolingo for screen time”.

Instead this looks like a clone of any of the many screentime apps, with similar egregious pricing.

cchc•7mo ago
hi! apologies for the misunderstanding. the 'duolingo' I'm mentioning is our mascot that encourages you to minimise your screen time. through interactions with the mascot it is proven effective so our beta testers that it helps reducing screen time! anyway, i appreciate your feedback and i'll be clearer onwards!
