@pablogranados_ Congrats on bringing your idea to life! Wishing you a smooth and prosperous journey. How can we best support you on this journey?
Gratz on the launch Pablo, great idea, this has so many feature and options.
did you do it all by yourself?
really liked it, wrote a review on Chrome Web Store too, good luck man
@m4jiz Thank you very much! The first thing I did was to try all the other apps that do similar things and I took the features I liked the most from each one and put them together in one app. Some of the features I made up, taking into account that I'm a person who gets distracted a lot and sometimes I cheat hehehe
@oliviervandenhoogen I would really love to be able to develop an app and make an all-in-one. I'm launching the plugin as an MVP to see what acceptance it has and understand if it makes sense or not.
Congrats on the launch! Love the customization Impulse provides! I found myself spending way too much time mindlessly scrolling on Linkedin recently, gonna use this to help me with that🤣 Thanks!
@kehui_guo Thanks for your words! I Hope that Impulse can help you in your productivity.

Congratulations on the launch of Impulse on Product Hunt! This Chrome extension seems like a valuable tool for maintaining focus and staying on track with tasks.Hope it'll help me focus : )
Love the concept, I use such tools. The only thing why I still would prefer using Opal - it works both on Google Chrome and my phone, and the UX is simpler. You lost me with so many of the settings that are there. But I like the part about deactivation when you need to say "I am losing focus".
@anastasiia_stepko Perhaps it is a good point that the configuration part could be improved at the UX level and the explanation of what everything works for. I write it down to improve it, THANK YOU.
