"Phokus"- An Anti-Distraction Notepad Project

I started developing a notepad program that tracks user behaviour and penalises users for getting distracted.
This is the link to the GitHub repo:

What is Phokus tho?

Well, Phokus is a small project I decided to start. The whole idea was to make a notepad that actively penalized the user for getting distracted.

What I've done so far

Right now the notepad only blurs for a few seconds when the user changes tabs. Not very evil, huh?

Features to be added in the future

  • Distraktion counter: Not a spelling error.
  • Wordcount Milestones: Celebrates the user for typing a certain number of words.
  • Fade out timer: Notepad starts fading out when the user stops typing for too long. I might add something else that brings back the user's attention.
  • Deep Mode: When enabled, all the content in the notepad gets deleted upon switching tabs. Yes, even in localStorage
