I want a solar alarm clock for kids: goes off every 30 mins, only stops after 5 mins in the sun. Myopia prevention + peace & quiet for parents. Doesn’t exist… yet.

Kids and teens who spend more time on screens and less time sleeping show early warning signs of heart and metabolic risks. While not causal, the study underscores the value of healthy screen habits and sleep routines for lifelong well-being. 
Say goodbye to screens and hello to nature! By spending less than two and a half hours per day outside research shows kids have better moods, sharper focus, and less stress.

ideas
some ideas google pixel could implement to increase user satisfaction
Widget stacks - let us stack widgets !
Camera - it would be nice in the camera if there was an option for dual camera / pip (picture in picture) mode where the camera / video could use *both* front *and* back cameras at the same time
digital wellbeing - simplified options for screen time
- 2 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- cancel
Multiple users + backup and restore + private space - let us use backup and restore functionality inside of multiple users. bring private space to multiple users. Also let us create 2 extra users. Currently we can have 4 user slots. But some may run out because:
1. Default
2. Private Space
3. No tracking
4. Alt
Please add 2 more user slots -
5. kiosk
6. private space within alt
Kids across the Houston area will soon be back in school. A local pediatrician says proper nutrition, adequate sleep and limited screen time can be critical to students' success.

Google thank you for digital wellbeing. Can we get options to make digital well being behave a bit more like apple screen time? E.g. when your time is up, allow the users to extend it by 1 minute, 5 minutes or 15 minutes while the app continues to run in the background. And give us the option keep the default screen time for the given app when we use the 5 or 15 minute extension. Don't make us change the default time just to continue using the app. That kinda defeats the purpose.

@foone because they want to maximize #screentime with putposefully degraded search results, #clickbait and #ragebait suggestions.
Je laat je kind (terecht) niet in een auto rijden...
maar hoe zit dat met de digitale snelweg op je telefoon? 
Een kind overziet niet altijd de gevolgen. Tip: gebruik ouderlijk toezicht en praat erover!

Why Sleeping Near Your Phone Can Ruin Your Sleep.

Since the advent of mobile our life has become very easy. Many such small tasks are accomplished in minutes with the help of mobile. But while mobile is no less than a boon for us, it has some dangerous side effects too. We keep the mobile close to us the entire day but at…

Why Everyone Should Use The ‘DND’ Feature More Often

Screen Time is a feature I'm quite proud of, but it won't be ready in time for the alpha release.
The reason is that we need to update our apps to support this, so don't fret, it will be ready by the RC 
I want to make Loops fun and addictive, but in a healthy and ethical/safe way.
This and new safety features will give our community even more control over the content they see, and who can see their content.

Is it possible to reduce screen time by using greyscale on an Android phone?
Tech writer Chris Hall, bothered by how much time he was spending on his device, gave it a try. Read about what he discovered from @TechRadar:

4/ Even when the report did correctly cite authors, it misrepresented their findings. For example, Mariana G. Figueiro's study about screen time and sleep in children was twisted to suggest something completely different.

@emilianosandri I think the "#DigitalDetox" #cult is a counter-reaction to #screentime being used as a #metric to do #Enshittification, worsen the experience and increasing amounts of shitty #shovelware and #PayToLoose (#P2L) aka. "#PayToWin" (#P2W) games!
What @tomscott parodized in one segment of a video is an actual business of avusing people with harmful patterns!
I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.
- Plus their #Website being built to mandate #JavaScript isn't very "respecting" of me as a potential user.
I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.
- But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.
Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...
- I do however acknowledge that there is a #market for #smol & #sleek "#StupidPhones" or rather compact #Smartphones and I do want to see more competition for it.
What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...
- I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.
I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...
- It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...
I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.
- Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...
