Agents just eat these things. After last week's HN post about Cyphral Distich, I pointed Astra and Fable at some unsolved ciphers just to see whether some joker who knew nothing about the field could get the same results, and sure enough there's plenty of low hanging fruit.

But I got nothing on Daniel Bordeau, who in the past week seems to have built himself a whole code breaking factory!

Hey, one of the developers here. I just changed the wording around the phone number piece to clarify it. You do NOT need to provide your phone number to use Intent. It's just optional if you want to also track mobile usage...we text you a setup link, then throw the number away.

We store all visited domains (when not in incognito mode), minus a couple hardcoded categories like adult sites. We want to show you charts that reference your overall browsing habits during the review periods, and our settings panel gives you knobs to recategorize urls from your history, rather than sticking to our initial buckets.

As we mentioned in the privacy policy, we don't store your email address or any identifier that you'd typically associate with your account. We very much do not want it to be possible to tie a history back to a person.

Thoughts?

Hi there,

One of the developers here. The spirit with Intent is to use light touches to help you become more aware of how you spend your time online and thus make better decisions. We just released this and our number one goal is to get feedback about what is or isn’t effective for folks. We believe it’s a bit of a different take compared to products that either do heavy-handed blocking or focus on quantification without tools for follow-through, and we’re excited to see what people think!
