Hi 👋 there, I'm Rahul Mula, the developer of Refresh. I suffered from 👁️ dry eyes and vision loss due to prolonged screen time. The doctor recommended the 20-20-20 rule to prevent the same from happening again. But to my surprise, very little I could find. There were blogs and videos about it but not much to put the same into practice ⏲️. That's when I decided to 🏗️ develop one for myself. I didn't want to create just a simple app that sends 🔔 system notifications but something more than that... I thought - "How about a blinking eye, chat-like message or even a cat 😺 coming from the edge of the screen to notify me?" While the alerts will be helpful, performing eye exercises will be another plus 💪. I would like to share the quote from the doctor - "You can only run 🏃‍♂️ 10 kilometres if you exercise daily, the same goes for your eyes.". Also, why just your eyes 👀? Your whole body (posture) and mind need to refresh as well. With all these ideas I sat down to develop Refresh (though I figured out the name/logo only a week ago). I also wanted the app to have good no... ✨ Great UI/UX! Like the ones you see nowadays 😁. But I was only half-good as a developer and had $0 to spend so... everything was up to me. The basics of UI design, interactive animations, overlay implementation, etc. I had to learn and implement as I progressed. I learned and failed and learned and failed. Every time my creative side/client thought - "Wouldn't it be cool if the 😼 cat scratched the screen as an alert" and while I imagined and thought "phaking genius 😏", my logical side/developer thought - "...the implementation? 😶..." And here you have it, my simplest thought and your first step towards digital well-being 💫.
