Just another N=1 anecdote: It didn’t work for me when I was dealing with depression a few years ago.

I also lost a dear friend to suicide and he was very succesful and active on his field when it happened. Nobody saw it coming.

It's just not that simple.

This comment comes across as quite naive. If the solution were truly that simple, we wouldn't see so much people suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction, etc. around the world.

Well, for starters, I guess keeping the "do not send voice recordings" toggle would be a good idea.

AFAIK - "Doomscrolling can also be defined as the excessive consumption of short-form videos or social media content for an excessive period of time without stopping"

I did that for Facebook (unfollowed everyone but my direct family). It worked great for a time. Now my feed is filled to the brim with suggested posts from pages and groups that have nothing to do with me and low-quality fake AI images to push controversial fake news. It's become unusable unfortunately, so I don't use it anymore.

Yes, I've been considering both options! WXT seems to fit my use case better at the moment, so I might give it a try.

As for stream names, I’ve looked into it as well, but from the limited research I’ve done, it seems like only paid services are available.

I doubt there's a way to get the radios' programming since these are mostly small radios with very basic websites and online presence. Best I can get is an MP3/AAC stream and that's about it.

I'm working on a new design for a site I run just for fun.

It's a simple site for streaming local radios from my city, Mendoza (Argentina): https://www.radiosdemendoza.com.ar

It was built with WordPress, and the new theme is using Tailwind and AlpineJS. I hadn’t used AlpineJS before, so this project was a great way to experiment with it.

I don't have any monetization on it, and I'm not sure if I'll pursue that for this site.

Next up, I plan to build a Chrome extension. I have limited experience with that, so it should be a fun challenge.
