Ask HN: Help me build better product by providing quick feedback

Greetings, I am building a desktop app for developers to fight procrastination. Please help me with your valuable feedback(will take about 3 mins of your time). The app lets you set your immediate goal with deadline and shows curated bite sized motivational content(<3 mins). And then the app goes in the background, it notifies the user once when deadline is near. You can checkout more about the app on landing page http://getmomentum.tk

I am looking for following answers to build product that can help others not just me 1. Do you think this app will help you motivate yourself and achieve goals within deadline? 2. What will be the most important aspect of app for you to try it out? 3. What features would you suggest to make this app work for you? 4. Any other feedback/feature request you want to share?

Thanks a lot in advance

It looks like a cool app! 1) I can't say for sure that it would help me motivate myself, but it certainly cheers up. 2) I recommend avoiding long videos; GIFs, fun images, and quotes will be better

@itsquiz, thanks for the heads up. Will add your feedback to the list. We are working on curating awesome content which should not take more than 3 mins at a time. Will enforce users to not spend more than 3 mins on our app each time. If you can also share any content sample that you want to see in app, that will help us curate much better. Thanks for the feedback.
