Hey there, Hunters! 👋
I'm Kyle, and I'm excited to introduce BrowseTimeLimit, my very 1st product!
My journey into indie hacking began with a simple realisation: In 2023, I wasted a lot of time procrastinating on sites like YouTube, Netflix, and TikTok instead of focusing on building something meaningful. Another year went by without much progress.
Determined not to repeat the same mistake in 2024, I tried again. But I found myself falling into old habits. That's when I came up with BrowseTimeLimit. It's a Chrome extension that helps you stay focused by limiting distractions on these sites.
I made BrowseTimeLimit for myself, but I believe it can be helpful for others too. Here's to hoping it helps you stay on track and make progress 🚀
I hope you like it. - Kyle
