Show HN: I built an addon as I was getting distracted in this lockdown period Hello Everyone, I was getting distracted in this lockdown period. I started watching lots of online videos and started reading lots of online articles, news papers and forum posts. This ate up lot of my time and I was spending less time on what I should actually be doing. So I built a web browser (Chrome and Firefox) addon to avoid distraction. You can download it from https://ift.tt/2zMML1r Here are the features of this addon: 1. Unblock specified websites only during a configured time and period of every day e.g. say, youtube can be unblocked only from 7PM to 8PM. 2. Only specified number of browser tabs can be opened to avoid information overload and distraction. 3. All the links that the addon refused to open* is temporarily stored as a list so that you can revisit those links afterwards. Let me know what you think. This is my first addon so any feedback is really appreciated. You can send me your feedback at: switch[dot]off[at]europe[dot]com Replace [dot] with . and [at] with @ in the above email address to get the actual email id. Thanks and kind regards, Ajit [*] Either because that domain was blocked as per addon configuration or because the max open browser tabs limit was reached. April 30, 2020 at 02:27PM

Show HN: I built a tool to send you daily digest of your saved bookmarks Bookmarks which you wanted to read, but simply forgot... It happened to me all the time. I bookmarked the articles to read later and simply forgot about them. Forever. I built Mailist to help with that. Already 2350 users enjoy their "weekly digests" composed from their bookmarks. It makes me super happy! So now, https://mailist.app Pro account allows you to send an email newsletter every day, built from your bookmarks. Does it sound interesting? The free version (weekly email) is available for everyone! Let me know what you think. PS. Unlike other tools, we care about your privacy and don't suggest promo content based on your saved links.
