Day 2 of building GrindCore ⚒️

What if scrolling wasn't automatic anymore?

I'm building an app that makes you earn your screen time through real-world actions instead of relying on willpower alone.

Still early. Still building.

Would you use it?

@LauraLoumd The hrdst part is making interception reliable across Android devices and app states. Detecting app opens is one thing; hndling transitions and preventing bypasses is trickier. I’m focused on getting that core loop right first. Have you found any approaches particularly reliable?

Day 1 of building GrindCore ⚒️

An Android app to help people stop doomscrolling and reclaim their attention.
✅ UI, app selection & timers
🔧 Working on app interception
Hit Gradle errors today, but that's part of building.
Tomorrow: fix the build and keep going.

@Joshua_WD Thanks Josh

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@ClarityHUD Thanks for the tip! I'll cross-check the AGP, Gradle and Kotlin versions before making further changes. App interception definitely looks like the more interesting challenge once the build is stable.

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@LauraLoumd Thanks, Laura! Happy to connect. I'm currently focused on making app interception and focus sessions reliable before expanding the feature set. Always interested in connecting with people building in this space.

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@Joshua_WD Thanks, Josh! Building the core focus loop first. Next up: getting app interception stable and testing session persistence. Will keep sharing the progress.

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@Anoyroyc That's exactly the behavior I'm working toward. Once app interception is stable, I'll test what happens when a user opens a distracting app mid-session, including whether the restriction holds for the remaining time. Still building the core loop before adding more features.

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@aitorapps Good catch. I'm planning to test session persistence across restarts and interruptions before adding another mode. The timer shouldn't reset just because the app closes or the phone restarts. Thanks for pointing this out.

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@Erica_Codes_NJ Exactly the direction I'm taking. I'd rather make one loop genuinely useful than launch 20 features nobody needs. Starting small and validating the core behavior first. Appreciate this perspective.

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

Time rewards discipline.

Your phone is designed to steal your attention. I'm building GrindCore to help you take it back.

Less mindless scrolling. More intentional action.

Building starts tomorrow. 🛠️

Follow the journey.

@SakshiSugandhi It will be a triple equal sign since it is javascript

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@SakshiSugandhi *not

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

@SakshiSugandhi It must be a CORS problem and you must now have allowed the localhost origin in the cors

I’m looking for a real business problem to solve.

If you work in any industry, what’s one part of your job that feels unnecessarily painful, manual, repetitive, or inefficient?
I’m not looking for startup ideas. I’m looking for problems.

@TyChen09 Hey buddy come here from your YouTube channel just wanted to talk to you about raised hands to be honest I am interested to help in the project if I can if you are interested let's talk on DM

[Asmit Tiwari @ASMIT0814]

Real estate investors/operators:

When you receive a property OM, rent roll, T-12, leases, etc., how do you currently analyze the deal?

Specifically:

• What do you manually extract?
• How long does it take?
• What part is the biggest headache?
• What tools do you use?
• What do you wish was automated?

Doing research on this workflow. Not selling anything.
