Do you struggle to control your Twitter?

Hey everyone!

I'm the founder of Nudge (nudgeware.io). I built the tool to help people control their usage of addictive sites.

I'm interested in whether people here feel that - specifically for desktop Twitter - they'd want a tool that helps them use Twitter less, or in a way that's better for them, or easier for them to control.

For example:

  • Hide the feed and let you focus on writing, instead of consuming
  • Tell you how your time is spent on Twitter - e.g. how often you go down rabbit holes
  • Keep you from content that doesn't make you feel good

The reason I'm asking is that I often waste tons of time on #buildinpublic Twitter, and often that time is 1) not productive 2) doesn't make me feel good. So I'm now considering a push on Nudge to make it work as well as possible for Twitter. I love the tool I've built, but I think that it would benefit from honing in on the experience on one platform. (The screenshot above is what Nudge already does to Twitter, by the way.)

So please, hit me up with:

  1. Stories of how you experience Twitter, particularly if you sometimes feel a loss of control - or if you don't, how you achieve that

  2. Suggestions of what a product that makes your Twitter experience easier to control looks like!

(By the way - I am not saying Twitter is all bad. I love the #buildinpublic space, but that doesn't mean I don't want more control over the way I interact with it.)
