I’m a full-stack developer with strong experience building web and mobile applications from the ground up, including optimizing infrastructure, launching products. I’ve previously built and shipped AI-powered education tools and productivity apps used by real users globally.
Yes, I know. There are toooooo many Pomodoro timers out there.
But most of them have bad UI, are pricey, or just feel clunky for Gen Z users.
So I built https://studyfoc.us — a beautiful, aesthetic, no-login Pomodoro timer with built-in site blocking and a Chrome extension. Simple enough to just hit "start" and focus.
In 7 days:
- 800 users
- 1.9k pageviews
- Avg session ~1 min
- No ads, just posted on some communities on Facebook and Reddit
Next: building an iOS app with app blocking + premium tools. Web stays free.
Yes, this app still in active development so I am using it daily.
I also faced the issue of run out of things to say, so I made a suggestion features, it will analyze the chat messages and give a list of suggestion to speak.
I experience the same as well, they will ask you to give a review at the end. I think this is a smart strategy. Software developers have been doing it for years when they ask users to leave a review in the app. And I dont think there is any ethical intention here. If you don't want to leave a good review then you can ignore their request.
Btw, the review system is always rigged. Same story at Yelp, AppStore, TrustPilot, Agoda. Instead of reading the good review, you can filter out them and read the bad review firsts.
