There's no nuclear option yet but I could see it being added down the road if there's enough interest. It's possible in Electron to prevent the user from closing or minimizing an app. Preventing the user from uninstalling it would be a lot more difficult but I've seen other apps accomplish it.
sarabad2021 | 2 years ago | on: Show HN: A noisy flashing timer app for productivity
Hey HN,
I built Cringe Clock, a Pomodoro timer app for us—procrastinators, and the chronically distracted. You know, the ones who find themselves an hour deep into a YouTube rabbit hole when there's work to be done.
Cringe Clock is like that friend who's a bit too much but always gets you to the gym. It's loud, it's flashy, and it absolutely refuses to be ignored. Perfect for anyone who's ever lost track of time.
What's different?
In Your Face: Always on top, because out of sight is out of mind.
- Flashy UI: Designed to draw your wandering eyes back to work.
- Ticking Sound: Nothing says "deadline's looming" quite like it.
- ADHD-Friendly: More than just a timer, it's a focus booster.
- Customizable: Because we all get distracted differently.
- Developed with Vue and Electron and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux
Check it out and let me know what you think

This is super interesting. Looks like it's not just an emergency fallback, but could be part of our daily lives. I doubt it'll fully replace the internet, but it could be a game-changer for rural or disaster-hit areas. The off-grid culture angle is cool too. Could pave the way for some more decentralized use-cases.

What are institutions doing to fix this? How can they encourage diversity of thought and opinion, even controversial opinions?
sarabad2021 | 4 years ago | on: The real OnlyFans scandal is the unaccountable power of platforms and banks
Absolutely true. Whoever is downvoting leave a comment to explain. Are we okay with banks discriminating against free speech but not against porn?

Familiarity breeds contempt

Remember, the tech workers coding the algorithms that enable these censorship biases are reading HN and I don't think they like reading comments that counter their ideology. Hence downvotes with no comments or justification.

The New York Times is likely already working on a new article with the title: "Rehabilitating Satan, an Angel with a Bad Rap"

Thanks for the laugh - The fact that we look to greedy corporations for politics and ideology is absolutely ridiculous

Mining prices are skyrocketing right now - Still extremely profitable even in a bear market
sarabad2021 | 4 years ago | on: Yoga and Breathing Exercises Aid Children with ADHD to Focus
Not so sure about the Yoga (easily subbed with cardio) but I can see breathing exercises helping. That said, I would like to see these kids just having less screen time and more outdoor activity and compare the results to this study.
sarabad2021 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Are you still using Keybase?
Wow, thanks for reminding me about those. I didn't think anything of them when they added them to my account. Looks like I got 1400 lumens from the drop.

sarabad2021 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What stack would you use to build a CRUD web app on the JVM today?
Developer quality of life. Lucee and CFWheels gives you the best of both worlds. Also, I hate Ruby syntax. I’d sooner use Golang.
sarabad2021 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What stack would you use to build a CRUD web app on the JVM today?
Lucee.io all the way. It was featured here on hn awhile back. Basically dynamic ecmascript on the JVM. Great for quickly prototyping apps with. I’ve also built many highly scalable enterprise applications with it.
sarabad2021 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What stack would you use to build a CRUD web app on the JVM today?
100% Lucee is amazing! However I prefer Wheels framework for more of a Ruby on Rails feel.

True but it's just not as cool as all the dystopian films made us think it would be

$1000+ price tag O-o -- Hopefully there will be enough demand to eventually make e-ink monitors mainstream so we can see the prices come down
sarabad2021 | 5 years ago | on: Show HN: Three Things Daily – Make gratitude a daily habit
This. We pray and give thanks as a family multiple times per day. Not in an empty monotonous prayer but we all chime in things and people that we're thankful for. Simple and genuine.

It also has alot of customizable options and I think that fact that it's just a single Vue file wrapped in Electron makes it super hackable and easy to adjust to your own preferences too.
