Hey Product Hunt! I quit my job to be an indie hacker full time around a month ago, and I was a couple of days in when I realised that sitting at home, and focusing was kind of hard. I missed the social pressure I'd get at work. So I looked around online, and got inspired by services, where they put you in a zoom call with other people and you all focus together. This works because your monkey brain thinks that everyone else is watching you, so you can't procrastinate. And thus, I made FocusWithStrangers! This is a multiplayer pomodoro experience, where you can work alongside some random people online for that hit of social pressure. There's a simple todo list built in, and you can chat (or 'shout' as I like to call it) with other participants during the break. If you don't like the idea of interacting with randoms, you can send a link and work with your friends as well. No accounts/logins. Completely free. This is my first launch. Please let me know what you think! Cheers, Frank
