Hi @irshadpc111 ! Make sure that you're going to the https address. We just found that the http address isn't redirecting for everyone. We're trying to solve that now. EDIT: Should be working on HTTP now.

@tdaltonc @irshadpc111 when I go to the site on my iPhone + safari, all I see is a spinning astronaut - it won't load.

Thanks @themarshalien !! Just curious, which app are you recovering from?

OMG! This is genius. I frist thought the app shouldn't launch automatically after a few seconds. But you're right, habit blocking would be the wrong way. The time to breath and think is awesome to reflect, and may change my habit. So simple, so great, good job! 🙌

I first I thought "great idea, great branding" but the onboarding is a tad messy... Would have been interesting to go all in Android on this one.

@wilhempujar Thanks for the love on the idea and branding😘 ! I agree that our on-boarding is not how it would be in an ideal world. Our flow was better in our native iOS app, but Apple refused to let us release it. I'm proud of what we were able to create with all of these edge case tools. We are working on an Android🤖 version! And that one is going to be a lot more powerful because of the flexibility of that platform. Keep an eye on our PH handles if you want to check it out when it lands.

@tdaltonc @wilhempujar I find the onboarding pretty straightforward although UI can be better, though completely understandable since this was done just 48 hrs ago! The only issue I faced was that I actually opened the weblink from within my ProductHunt iOS app, and when I get to the point where I'm supposed to "Add to Home", I couldn't find it since it's not in regular Safari. And when I tried going to my mobile Safari and used my original email, it asked me for a password, which I never gave in the process on signing up. So I ended up registering under a new email account.

@paulparsons1981 Make sure safari is not in privacy mode.

And push notifications from the original app? You block them too?

@ddrckdesign I so desperately want to be able to do that! Our android app with be able to do that, but it's not possible on iOS.
