I’m 25, way too many exams still to take. My classmates graduated two years ago, and here I am…still stuck in the same place.

Not long ago, through a friend, I received an offer for a regular 9-5 job, average salary, 30-minute drive to the office and all the usual perks. It seemed like a solid offer.

Everyone told me to accept it: my friends, my family. The idea was simple—I could start working, save some money, keep studying in the meantime, and finally finish my degree as soon as possible. After that, I could move to a bigger city, get a better paying job, and follow the usual path everyone expects.

But I said no.

I turned it down to create Describify.

Describify is a platform that uses AI to analyze an image of an item someone wants to sell and generates a complete, tailored listing for platforms like Vinted, eBay, or Wallapop.

Alright, you’re probably thinking, “What an idiot!” And maybe you’re right. I know that Describify isn’t a rocket headed for Mars or the next groundbreaking innovation in AI, but it’s my first public project—the first one I’ve poured my time (and sometimes my sanity) into, coding almost every day in my bedroom (don’t believe me? Check out my GitHub) while the rest of the world judged me. It’s like the Macintosh for Jobs. (Okay, I know that’s an over-the-top comparison, but you get the idea.)

The point is, I believe in my idea and in the future ones that will come. And if you believe in it too, sign up for the waitlist and be among the first to access the platform—as soon as I squash a few bugs!

It’s no secret that social media companies strive to maximize time spent in their apps — in other words, how much attention we give them. That's why I've created Atten - a screen time control app that helps safeguard your attention. Atten lets you schedule app blocking and set daily time limits for apps.

I’ve always been curious about how people defend themselves against these attention-grabbing algorithms. Do you have systems in place to protect your time? Do you rely on self-discipline, or do you use screen-time control apps like Atten, AppBlock, Jomo, Opal, or something else?

In a world where attention is commoditized, could having these apps enabled by default be as essential as locking your doors at night? If we all agree you shouldn’t go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, should using screen time control tools become a hard-and-fast rule for our devices?

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

- Do you find these apps genuinely helpful? - What strategies do you use to avoid falling prey to social media algorithms? Let me know what you think! Check out Atten here: https://apple.co/4dZIfKa https://www.atten.app (Free Lifetime Access Promo For This Month)
