The platforms change their DOM, so I need to keep the filters up to date. But I use this app myself and have 10+ active testers who instantly notify me of any bugs.

I think the symptom is a self repeating loop that gets worse. they watch the short form content, which makes them more and more addicted to it. So breaking out of it, may get some of that attention span back. I already feel mine starting to

Thank you! I am shipping the YouTube redirect issue in the next update. Currently you can circumvent it by going back to dull and trying again after being redirected, but it's super annoying and I will fix!

My biggest wish was that you could disable reels/shorts, etc on the native apps. But unless there is some regulation, it won't happen. I actually made a citizen's suggestion to EU some time ago, but that did not pan out.

Lifetime payment was highly requested by users (including existing users), since they have subscription fatigue. Since I use the app myself every day to reduce screentime myself I'm extremely motivated to fix every bug and make the UX

A Safari extension could handle some of it, but Dull also does usage tracking, time limits, quiet hours, and grayscale mode which all need to live at the app level. The filtering itself could be an extension, but the broader goal is reducin

Interesting request. I haven't looked into WeChat's web version but I'll check if the short video content is filterable. No promises but noted. We've also gotten requests for Snapchat and TikTok.

Thanks! If one can't completely quit cigarettes, I'd prefer they smoke on a healthier one.

Fair question. The honest answer is I don't know if Instagram or YouTube will try to shut this down. They haven't so far, but that doesn't mean they won't. They can try to come after me:) But seems like they are the ones

Hi HN, I built ShipNative to make “clone, configure, ship” realistic for Expo/React Native projects. The focus is on a clean TypeScript base, sensible defaults, and docs that don’t assume you already know the exact setup steps. It aims
