Show HN: Awareen a screen time tracker that counts screen on time, not app time

https://github.com/Andebugulin/Awareen

Default Android's Digital Wellbeing counts per app foreground time and sums it up. This has a weird consequences of historical totals being tied to whichever apps are currently installed and animations / some launcher time aren't counted at all.By uninstalling Instagram that I was addicted to and my statistics would crazy shift, saying you spent less time than I actually did.I wanted the...

Feels a bit nice to live not only with the disturbance caused by unpredictability of AI, but by unpredictability of QC too, refreshing

Re:Mad Bugs: Vim vs. Emacs vs. Claude on Wednesday April 01, 2026 @02:48AM (#47597691)
That's a bit funny to me, because the level of absurdity you get from reading something like that is insane, I have been using vim on a daily bases for more than 5 years now. One day thought about contributing to vim because was silly enough to believe that the tool shouldn't be that many lines of code, something doable, like in couple thousands, then found out its way way more than that and closer to half a mill, couldn't even dream of understanding anything, not close to be fluent enough to find RCEs.

My experience was worse than just frustrating verification - it cost me money twice.

I submitted my government-issued ID and bank statements multiple times. Each time rejected, no specific explanation why. After several rounds I gave up, assuming my developer account would at least stay dormant until I felt like trying again.

It didn't. Google deleted the account entirely. No warning, no refund of the €25 registration fee or whatever it costed. When I eventually wanted to publish again, I had to create a new account and pay again. The second time around they accepted my driving license - the same type of document category they had rejected before.

So the real cost of a bad verification experience isn't just time. If you give up and walk away, you lose your fee and start from zero. That's the part that stung, at least for me.
