I'm scrolling Instagram 6 hours a day. So I built an app that FORCES me to drink water and become healthier. Otherwise, Instagram stays locked.

ThirstTrapp detects my face AND my cup in the live camera feed. I can't cheat with screenshots. 15 seconds of drinking = 2 hours of unlocked apps. Non-negotiable.

There's no "forgetting to drink" anymore. The apps themselves demand drinking payment.

It's called "weaponized scrolling addition".

Ridiculous? Yes. Is it annoying? Also yes. Does it work? Very much so, I'm drinking more water than ever before.

build it yourself then if you know so much better

[Vaggelisdrak @vaggelisdrak]

I love @marclou but I feel this ship or die idea seems a bit too much for me.

It could have been much cheaper or even free. For example, you could make people accountable by locking their $270 and giving it back little by little each month if they ship consistently; otherwise kick them out.

What do you think? 🤔

@robj3d3 based. i feel like when one maxes out in life in one domain (let's say income in your case and my case) we have a duty and obligation to max out other areas to. gym being very much one of them.

lets go, rooting for you Rob!

@CarlosBBuild not really, my app didnt gain too much traction (only a few subscribers). but also truthfully, i did zero marketing.

though i had a very high conversion rate once people hit my paywall. mhm...
