I replied with some more details. I feel like this work is kind of trial and error so that's why someone who's done it before could be of help.

The current implementation mostly works but misses a bunch of edge cases like:

• Handling system interruptions
• Music keeps playing when you turn off your screen (even though it shouldn't)
• Some crashes reported on Sentry
• Sometimes music/sound doesn't work until you exit and enter the app again
• etc

Hey thank you! I've sent you a message. Really appreciate it.

I can't send them a message because I need an account, that's the thing :(

The thing is that the Italian number from my friend already didn't work... So if someone who already has an account can help me out it'll be easier. Otherwise I might get the esim for nothing if it doesn't work either :(

After catching myself doomscrolling way too often, I got obsessed with this problem. Everyone talks about it, but real fixes are scarce. So I actually quit my job to tackle it lol

My first attempt was an app that intentionally made social media apps more annoying. It reminded me when I'd been scrolling for too long. But I still had to resist the urge to uninstall it - just like how my brain ignored Apple's Screen Time warnings.

Back at the drawing board, I noticed a pattern: people who don't doomscroll are just too busy for that. When my calendar is filled with friends or sports, I can't waste time on the couch.

This led me to Pushscroll, which helps you replace doomscrolling with exercise. 1 pushup = 1 minute of scrolling allowed (with customizable difficulties). We also detect squats and plank with computer vision (on-device).

It won't fix everything - being bored is an important skill to master. But embracing boredom is the last step in this journey. Pushscroll is as easy to open as social media, and seeing progress is surprisingly motivating. We have a bunch of features planned - it's such a fun idea.

I'd love your feedback and hope it helps you swap some scrolls with reps :)

Note that it requires a subscription to use, but we offer a free trial and you can try it out during onboarding. We do this to validate the idea - if people aren't willing to pay, we shouldn't continue. Hope you can understand! It only costs a dinner out a year ($15.99/y).

Did you A/B test its performance? Was it noticeably better?

You can definitely do that

Have you tried other declarative frameworks? What's your experience in comparison? Like React or Compose

The biggest problem for me has been the RAM, not so much the processing power.

That's a sick project! Love it, hoping it gets more support :)

Are the results already out?

This is sick - I admire TRMNL as a company

Have you tried doing marketing? You can't expect people to magically discover your app

On Android it's even worse... You have to wait for the whole review process to deploy any fixes. But they don't even check if your app works in the review. At least on iOS I know the main flows in the app will always work.

You should do a bunch of A/B tests and let the data decide

How is it better than existing apps?

You gotta try both. Ideally at the beginning you want content very directly about the product, because you get validation and feedback. For scaling you can also try more unrelated content. But it's a lot of experimentation anyway. And you don't strictly need to pay for ads either, just film and upload.

UserDefaults and navigation

+1 on TikTok, it takes a bit to learn but you can get crazy amounts of views with no followers. That's the key, because on Instagram you do need the followers.
