Show HN: I built a tool that blocks social media until you scream "I'm a loser"

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-29 20:49:56

That’s how the idea came up: make the blocker ask me to say something embarrassing out loud before it lets me back in. If I actually have to yell “I’m a loser” into my mic. Even better - the louder I screamed, the more time I’d get. So I put together Scream to Unlock. It’s silly, but so far it’s done
