GitPals – Find team for cooperative development

Kinda wish there was something we're you had someone watching you to make sure you aren't procrastinating. Wouldn't have to be a peer - you could have someone offshore keeping an eye on a bunch of people at a time, ready to yell at them.

I read this in a comment on HN, but you could record yourself as if you're live coding, which has been just as effective for me at preventing procrastination and helps me stay focused, and even provides my own rubber ducking :D

Yeah, this has also worked for me! I’ve used https://gitduck.com for this in the past and plan on starting up again.

I could swear I read somewhere about an app where you share a severely scaled down (or maybe slightly blurred?) version of your desktop throughout the entire workday.

I would allow your mate to sense the situation when you could be more available for chatting/socializing/etc.

My google-fu is failing me, I think I saw it ~2019 but cannot find anything now.

And of course the focusmate seems to be still a thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21352305

I'm working on something close. You can create a team by combining any number of contributors, from any repository and start tracking their activity.

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/contributors

Edit: Not sure if my server can survive, but you play with the server on your own machine if you have docker installed.

$> docker run --rm -d -p 3347:3347 gitsense/gitsense-server

You can add a repo by connecting to the docker container

$> docker exec -ti <container id> bash

$ your docker container> add-repo github github super-linter

And track indexing by going to the admin tool

http://<your docker host machine>:3347/admin (username: admin, password: admin)

To set a token, execute in your container

set-token github <your token>

Be careful what you wish for?

No seriously. This seems like it's about to come true in a not so pleasant way.

I think something like this exists, where you can schedule time with someone to work over video so that you can stay focused. I've seen it mentioned before on here but I don't remember the name.

Are you serious? This sounds truly awful.
