We devs will spend 10 hours optimizing a script but won't spend 2 mins fixing our posture. A deep dive into LookAway 2, the context-aware app you actually need.
We devs will happily spend 15 hours automating a 5-minute task, but won't spend 2 minutes saving our own spines from looking like a cooked shrimp. Today, I'm diving into a spine-saving tool currently trending on Product Hunt with 122 upvotes.
So, this indie hacker named Kushagra got tired of his eyes feeling like sandpaper, a stiff neck, and extreme brain fog after 10-hour Mac sessions. Instead of just crying about it on Twitter, he built LookAway. Now, LookAway 2 just dropped, and it's packing some serious heat:
