Hey Hunters, it’s Nayan! A while ago, I kept telling myself “just one YouTube video”… and somehow it was 2 AM again. I tried the usual website blockers. They work… until you hit “unlock” on autopilot. What I needed wasn’t more restriction — it was a pause before the impulse. So I built ZenBlock: a privacy-first Chrome extension that adds a short mindful breathing pause before opening distracting sites. Then you decide — close the tab, or continue for a timed break (so you don’t fall into a scroll hole). I built it for myself first. No big launch. Just shipping, testing, polishing. Today I’m sharing it here to get real feedback from people who actually care about focus + mental clarity. If you’ve ever lost hours to doomscrolling, I’d love for you to try ZenBlock and tell me what feels great — and what’s missing.
