Launching tomorrow after 9 months as a solo dev… does anyone actually escape doomscrolling?

Hey Product Hunt 👋

Tomorrow I’m launching Scrollified, an app I built during late nights alongside working full-time and my PhD.

The idea started from a personal problem:
I’d open YouTube Shorts or TikTok for “5 minutes”… and somehow it would be 2 hours later.

App blockers never worked for me.
Deleting the apps never worked either.

So I started wondering:

What if short-form video wasn’t infinite?

Scrollified gives you a finite feed of curated videos, and once you reach the end… that's it. No algorithmic rabbit hole.

I’m honestly feeling that weird pre-launch mix of excited + slightly terrified right now 😅

So I’m curious:

How do you deal with short-form video apps?
• App blockers?
• Delete the apps?
• Or just accept the infinite scroll?

Would love to hear how other builders here manage it.

And if you're around tomorrow, I’d love to see you on the launch page 🙏❤️
