Hi all, I'm an indie hacker and I've been working on watchlimits.com over last couple months.
It's a chrome extension that helps you set limits (greatly customizable) and provides you stats and various accountability features.
It only runs on the video streaming platforms (not everywhere) and it's privacy centric.
Almost all functionality is available for free, but some advanced features only available in the paid version (password protection, allowed youtube channels).
It's a pretty niche tool that originated from my own occasional struggles (lost sleep anyone?), even though many people don't have a need to use it, it solves a big problem for some people and that is in itself already a success. If you know someone who would find it helpful, please share!
