The UI was created with shadcn/ui and styled using Tailwind CSS with a neobrutalism-inspired design. I used the Space Grotesk font because it looks good (what did you expect?). </p> <h2> Prize Category </h2> <p>I’m submitting this for the Community Favorite category because it’s simple, fun, and something most people can relate to. The idea of a productivity app that actually makes you less productive is something everyone understands, and I wanted to make something people can interact with and laugh at.</p> <p>Built and submitted by me <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/rusilkoirala">@rusilkoirala</a> </p> <blockquote> <p>No team, just procrastination.</p> </blockquote> devchallenge 418challenge showdev
