One of Ashdeck s new features lets you set task reminders. While building it, I hit a challenge delivering these reminders to the extension exactly when they re due. At first, I tried using Google Calendar WebSockets, but they didn t fit the use case.
Ashdeck is your all-in-one productivity workspace — built right into your browser. It’s designed for makers, students, remote workers, and anyone tired of losing hours to digital distractions.
Struggling to focus? We built Ashdeck, an open-source Chrome extension to block distractions, run a Pomodoro timer, and manage tasks without bloated software or spyware.
Ashdeck is a free, open-source Chrome extension designed to help you stay focused by blocking distracting websites, using a Pomodoro timer for structured work sessions, and tracking your progress. Built by procrastinators for procrastinators.
Every time I sat down to get work done, the same cycle played out.
I d open my laptop with the best intentions ready to code, write, or plan but somehow, I d end up deep in a Twitter thread, reading Hacker News, or watching just one YouTube video (which, of course, turned into five).
I ll start in a minute, I d tell myself.
Minutes turned into hours. My to-do list remained untouched. And yet again, I d wonder where my time went.
