Show HN: WaldenWeek – An anti-app designed to be used 1min/week (waldenweek.com)

2 points by calinf ↗ HN
I built WaldenWeek as an anti-app designed to be used ~1m/week that actively challenges you to not use other apps.

I gamified Thoreau’s "simpler living" philosophy and adjusted to the digital age. The goal is to subtract a modern commodity every week to find out what we can/cannot live without.

If you complete the week, you upgrade your 'human' attributes (Focus, Clarity, Strength,...). If you fail, you donate real money to a charity that matches the challenge.

I was a wee bit interested, but lost interest when the charity for penalty contributions was pre-selected for me. Back to zombie town I go.
