Post Description

I got frustrated with explorer sometimes opening a windows that is 1-2 pixel from being maximized and when throwing my mouse at top right to close it, it closes the app behind instead. Time to make Windows behave !

I built a focus system that forces real breaks after burning out

The product's hook is simple and blunt: when the extension decides you're burned out it pops a full‑screen overlay you can't ignore and blocks distracting sites until you recover. It's clever in practicality — automatic detection + enforced breaks removes the 'just one more minute' failure mode — but it's not breaking new ground; privacy, circumvention and configurable strictness will determine whether people actually adopt it long term.
