I based this app off my desire to limit work interrupting choices (See The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz if interested in learning more). There are so many unique ways to ingest information, so many ways to design elements that will catch attention, that focus and attention to the task at hand are simply too difficult.
That said, this app minimally displays a curated group of the 10 most popular Hacker News stories over the last 24 hours. It refreshes every 30 minutes automatically, but the thought is that unless something major happens, the list will rarely change, and only when something major occurs.
It's not a miracle app: it won't save you from going down the rabbit hole, endlessly reading, and wasting your day away. But I've found that because the list doesn't change much, my eyes don't register anything new, and I get back to work.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
