Show HN: I built a 'state reset' tool for my brain. Proper dark mode, no extras

1•_Phantomcode•3w ago
Hi HN,

I’m a developer who struggles with the mental cost of context switching. When I sit down to code after a chaotic day, my brain often feels like a browser with 20 tabs open (I call this "Browser Brain"). I usually freeze up before I can even write the first line of code.

I tried using standard productivity apps to fix this, but they were part of the problem. They were too bright, too complex, and felt like "marketing" tools rather than "builder" tools.

So, I built Inspiropage to solve my own Internal Obstacle.

What it is: It’s a "digital quiet space." Think of it as a clear command for your mind. It serves a single quote, a mini-story, or a micro-action to help you perform a "state reset" before deep work.

Design Decisions (For Devs):

Proper Dark Mode: I didn't use funky marketing colors or high-contrast neons. It is a strict, neutral dark theme designed to sit comfortably on a second monitor next to your IDE without causing eye strain.

Zero "Engagement" Features: No gamification, no streaks, no notifications. The goal isn't to keep you in the app; the goal is to get you off the app and into your flow state.

The Honest Constraint: This app won't manage your JIRA tickets or optimize your sprint velocity. It is strictly a utility for that 5-minute window where you need to transition from "Chaos" to "Focus."

You can try it here: [ https://inspiropage.pages.dev/ ]

I’d love feedback on the dark mode implementation—I aimed for something that feels native to a developer's workflow.
