Nice app. Using moto edge 60 pro. The app navigation gets hidden under the phone navigation icons. I'd like to pay. Except without user login, I am unable to figure out if the purchase can be linkedin to my 2-3 devices (each of which may use a different Google account)

Got permanent tinnitus due to damage to auditory nerve from an accident back in 2010.

Coping was hard. Distracting yourself with various things so you dont think about it was key.

Things to try - 1) Keeping yourself distracted or occupied and trying to not be conscious about it for 50% of the day to start with, gradually improving to 90% of the day 2) White noise apps for sleep 3) Carry ear plugs at all times. Plug them in if watching a movie in a theatre or attending to an Indian wedding. Prevents worsening of the situation.

To those out there: you're not alone. The journey is different for everyone, and what helps one person might not help another — but with patience and experimentation, many find ways to manage and live fully despite it.

Looks like there is no way i can use it without giving up on screen real estate. I'd love to have it pinned in the browser toolbar and I click it when I need it. But it wouldn't allow itself to be hidden and needs to have a floating circle taking up page real-estate.

Disabled it.

The tech stack check seems to fail every time. Would love to see with the tech stack details included. Nice and fast, otherwise!

"location": { "street": "853 Watsica Flat", "city": "North Biankaview", "state": "Wisconsin", "country": "India", "zip": "72621-2558", "coordinates": { "latitude": 6.5434, "longitude": -152.386 }

Could be a useful tool if this location data is coherent. State, City, Zip, Country and Lat/Lon are each of different places.

I used to run a small relatively unknown service back in the day when internet on mobile was still unaffordable in India.

People could sms to a number that I had procured with any keyword. The service send the user a list of 5 top results' domain names from Google results for that keyword. User would respond with a number (1-5). The service would send the 20 characters of the first h1 tag on the page, and first 140 characters of the first body tag on the page. (tyring it's best to not send any markup but just the text). Last 20 characters would be an ad.

It was buggy but it had decent traction initially. I didn't get any advertisers so for the most part of it the ad text was something like 'advertise here - with short link to contact from'

Reminds me of those days where every kb accessible on mobile was so valuable.
