Hi all🙂 I loved working with my brother on FlowBuddy!😍 We all know – algorithms have become incredibly addictive recently😵‍💫 So we built FlowBuddy – and it really has helped me reduce my phone usage😊 Simply creating a distance between picking up my phone and getting into my social stream has made a huge difference for me. Even though I still open addictive apps (but less frequently now), it really helps when FlowBuddy kicks me out after a few minutes. I hope it helps you gain some time as well. 🙏 Lauris

Hey Costin and Lauris, How does FlowBuddy decide which flashcards to show when opening a blocked app? Is it based on user-set topics or does it use AI to determine relevant content? Have you found that the 5-10 minute unblock feature helps reduce overall app usage compared to a strict block? Congrats on the launch!

Hey @kyrylosilin, Users can create flashcards on any topic in FlowBuddy, with AI assisting in generating relevant content. We find that a strict block can negatively impact the user experience, especially when access to certain apps is necessary (e.g., checking emails on a weekend). Instead, we focus on raising awareness of app consumption by showing usage data when the app is opened.

Congrats on the launch, FlowBuddy looks super useful! The whole idea of turning distractions into learning opportunities is awesome. Quick question tho, how customizable are the flashcards? Can users choose topics or is it more general? Can't wait to give it a try!

@markmartinez Hi Mark, you would enter a topic that interests you and then we will generate a flashcard deck with AI. It works particularly well if you enter specific topics and describe well what you want to learn – just like when you prompt ChatGPT – more context is better🙂 Right now users can't customize flashcards yet – however that's definitely planned👌

Congrats on the launch! Looks great 🔥 Loosing focus is so easy nowadays. Especially when you're building a product. There's loads of things to do and to think about. You need to train yourself to be extra-focused on your tasks in order to be productive. This kind of app is of great help to put your mind in order Best of luck!
