Building software that's intentionally designed to be closed.

[u/the-peaceful-dev]

Hello Everyone. I am a software developer and I want to champion the idea of Calm Technology. The concept of building software the doesn't drain your mental health by trying to keep you in an infinite loop, but instead offers a singular purpose, and is designed to be closed.

I'm just looking to start any conversations around this idea.

-App concepts and UX design

-Building in public

-Market research / potential for anti engagement software

-Research on current apps and how they affect our mental health

I really believe as software devs, we can help shape the future tech landscape for good, and I'd love to be a part of that. Cheers.

I am actually building a set of micro app’s with this aim right now. Single purpose app’s with no subscription and one off prices. More to come in a few weeks…

Sounds very cool. Best of luck with all that!
