Hey Product Hunt!

I m Merrill Lutsky, co-founder & CEO of Graphite, the code review platform for the age of AI.

I left the UK in August 2024 to go traveling with my partner. By the time I got back, I was single and unemployed.
I wasn t in a good place. To cope with the traveling blues and the breakup, I turned to bedrotting. I was lying there, scrolling Instagram and TikTok, jumping from news app to news app, opening dozens of loops but never closing any of them. I was looking for distraction and some sort of comfort, but I couldn t get it on a screen. My phone habits were making me feel worse.
So I set out to better manage my relationship with my device.
And it didn t work. The existing screentime apps like Opal, Brick, and Jomo are very all-or-nothing. There's no middle ground where I felt I could stay informed without getting sucked back in by social media algorithms.
I still wanted to go on YouTube to see what news channels were saying about international politics, but I didn t want to get distracted by all the other recommendations that happened to be there. I still wanted to see what my friends were up to on Instagram, but I didn't want to be enticed by the reels asking me to watch just one more video. I still wanted to check my emails, but I didn t want to lose half an hour to meaningless messages. Software s stickiness made it nearly impossible for me to stay disciplined.
So I set out with a new mission: to make something for myself that would allow me to stay updated without becoming easily distracted.
What I envisioned was a hub that put things in an environment where I had control letting me stay on my home turf instead of cruising through internet neighborhoods filled with booby traps. That way, I could avoid the endless stream of information, the notifications, and the slot machine-like UX.
I ve started building that. Siftly (https://siftly.space/) is part wellness tool, part productivity tool. It s completely customizable and designed to put people back in control of their digital experience. Ironically, my relationship to screens has improved since I started creating the app because I'm coming at it from a creator mindset instead of a consumer mindset. But if Siftly doesn t work out, even if I go on the dole, I ll be doing it without the scroll.

A migration can pass with the new build and still break a worker from the previous release that's finishing a queued job. Rename a column in one deploy, and that worker may keep writing the old name after the database has moved on.

Adding the new field first lets both versions coexist. Then you can backfill, switch reads, and remove the old field in a later deploy. The dangerous bit is declaring the old writers gone too early.

What do you check before that cleanup: running worker versions, drained queues, or logs showing no writes to the old field? If you run a small team, what's the smallest check you'd trust?

I remember many people getting demotivated after not being featured and leaving the platform.

In my opinion, that's not the best idea.

The changelog is back! Expect regular updates going forward. This week we have a couple improvements to our launch submission flow.

Arcade interactive demos

The most successful launches tell a compelling story of the product, including showing what the user interface looks and feels like. Arcade allows you to in minutes create a realistic interactive demo that shows off your product's UX.

This adds to our existing storytelling integrations, along with Screenspace (interactive demos) and Loom (videos).
