    I love your sister's honesty about food not being that good - so often, ppl want views or to be overly positive and in reality you try that item and it just is not it - and it annoys me that someone blatantly lied about how good it was, and now I wasted money, calories and a meal on something mediocre.

    I try to limit my time on social media as I always feel I could be doing something much more productive. I feel it’s important to have some down time so I tend to look at social media at the end of a productive day where possible. I can watch random videos of people making snow angels without feeling guilty when I’ve done everything I set out to do for the day. Happy Holiday, too!

    As someone who has taken Discrete Math, I can say it's an acquired taste whether you enjoy it or not. I did, but I love all things math (take that as you will). I agree that getting into specific topics like Computer Architecture and OS will help you get a better idea on whether attending more classes is worth it for you.
    Also, question, if your app succeeds, do you plan to design it for Android?

    First time commenting and I just want to say I love watching you try out different things and share with us. I'm also on a journey to figure out what I want my channel to be and at the moment it's literally "come along with me as I do and try this and that". I'm finding those types of channels are fun to me and more interesting because I learn something new. While the other more predictable channels have become background noise for me while I'm working or cleaning. Hope this feedback helps!

    I'm on break from my full-time job for the holidays and found myself just scrolling through stories, forced myself to stop!
    Now I'm 80+ pages into a book I got for Christmas lol.
    As an Android user, we have something similar to the app you're building, but it's definitely not calming, especially on Dark Mode lol.
    It's like a school teacher tapping you to log off. I ignore it most times, but will try to do like you and make the most of my time.

One of the biggest things I have with wanting to cut down a screen time is “why” I want to cut it down. At night so I can wind down and sleep easier, during events so I can stay more focused, etc. what about a way to enter in this information to see does blocking out these apps help with my goals? Just an idea! this looks so cool!

    I am currently in my formal CS education, 3 semesters into the Bachelor program at TU Vienna and I can say these introductory classes like Discrete Math are there for a reason. I didn't see value in it last year either and wondered what it was used for. Now that stuff gets more advanced and interesting I see the value. In almost every course we need and use the basics and have to have a solid foundation because almost everything else uses them to specify really anything. Without a solid base it would be very hard to follow. So yeah, I understand your struggle but can say that it will pay off in the future if you continue studying!
