Which apps/websites waste your time?- Grapevine

I spend a sad amount of time mindlessly going through Instagram. Want to cut down, and replace with better apps, that actually make my time better spent. Curious which apps you all use that make you feel better after you use them?

Which app/website do you regularly go to, that makes you feel your time was well spent?

Spending a lot of time on Grapevine now (grapes got me addicted)
It is well until the addiction takes over,

Social media can never make you feel better, they are designed to lure you into unproductive expensive experiences

Consultant

You’ll find it in ScreenTime, curious how it looks across different types of people here 
Mine: 
1) Instagram (actually sad about this) 
2) WhatsApp (fair enough) 
3) Chrome 

4th interestingly is Swiggy, how tf am I spending so much time there :D

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I work in a startup. We're currently on an ongoing pivot. I started working here as a founding engineer. I have worked here for around 2 years now. Majorly i worked on frontend part with react native (which is totally a new thing for me when i joined). During my tenure here there was no senior engineer who could review my work and give me the skills i required to build my career. Our founder was happy if the app was working fine. During the initial phase we needed to launch the app as soon as possible so i quickly learned the basic things i needed to make an app with react native. In this time all of these things (js and web world) are very new to me as i was coming from developing native android apps with java. Now im trying to switch so that i can work with a team of experienced engineers. While attempting interviews for frontend engineer, I found that whatever I've done in my current job was nothing more than a college project and I really didn't got to learn any industry level stuff. I'm feeling like im still a fresher out of college. 

I tried working on my frontend skills but as we all know it's a very huge field. Html, css, js, frontend frameworks, hell lot of libraries.

I'm feeling so overwhelmed.

Whenever i attend a new interview i get to know new concepts which i never knew exist.


Any suggestions for me guys?

I love to try out news app on the app store, an apple user this side — another place I come across a few are through product hunt. 

Please share, these can be of any category from finance, productivity or others. Just don’t recommend another notes, calendar apps. 

I would recommend the following apps to try out: 

- Dime: Budget and expense tracker. 
- Splitwise: Split expenses with friends.
- Calendly: Schedule meetings with ease.
- DigiYatra: Escape check in cues at the airport.
- Slice: Flash credit loans.

What’s an app you would recommend?

Here's mine hahaha.

For me 5 - I start by 11 and end by 7 but take an hour lunch break, 4-5 tea/coffee breaks and some gossips - I tracked one day and it was 5.2 hrs.


What about you?

How many hours do you actually work per day?

I have adhd so I don't (read : can't) work until 2 days before sprint is about to get over then wrap the stuff up with anywhere between 8-10 hours pn both days.

Software Developer

It’s clear to me that this isn’t good for me. My interaction with the outside world and being in the present is inversely proportional to how much I use IG/smartphone.

IG is obv the strongest drug, but in general want to be more conscious about what I do on my phone, when Inuse it.

Looking for genuine advice. Please help 🙏🏻

People who reduced IG/Smartphone usage, how did you do it?

Simple Shirley, Uninstall 
  
 If required, login from web only 
  
 I've set timers for 19 apps in my phone by digital wellbeing 🤷 
 It'll help in long run

Most underrated app on your phone?

This is worse addiction than smoking, drinking. 

Haven't watched any short/reels for 5 days straight feeling like a void inside. 

But its better, Watching reels/shorts would give a feeling of satisfaction because of the dopamine release.
So seeking other experiences for that dopamine hit. Life is getting better.

Reels, Shorts Addiction

Exactly the reason I deactivated Instagram. It's been a year now. Don't even feel the need to ever go back.

Customer Success

(maybe a clickbait to few people) No I don't work at Amazon I am just 1st year student but I don't know is it me or anyone else also feels this that the UI/ux basically the whole fucking frontend of Amazon is so glitchy and filthy whenever I search something the loading line appears on top like 2000s it feels like using an app made by 3rd year student for project. The design is soo poor never feels like premium app always feels like an app made for illeterates.Now let me tell you what happened there is one offer on dmrc(delhi metro card) that if I pay with Amazon pay I will get cashback even though I never use Amazon pay(gpay rocks) I used it today and after paying their fucking site was loading for more than 2 mins and was showing don't press back button but I pressed back and it showed transaction pending not able to connect to our servers(fucking one of the biggest companies of the world) at same moment I tried recharging using gpay it just took seconds and people will say maybe some traffic issue or server down and all but I tried this in evening also on different card then also failed. Gpay>>phonepe>>Airtel money==Paytm>>>>>>>>>>>amazonpay.

Amazonpay sucks(rant)

I will go first: iPad. Its the most useless product I have ever purchased. Zero addition to productivity

Most of the people around me use insta.
