alternative to Doom scrolling?
Hi everyone, I'm building a platform product and I'm implementing a feed scroll for it. But personally I'm against doom scrolling as I've wasted a lot of my time on Instagram but I can't think of any other viable alternatives.
Although my platform is productive I just wanted to ask is there something other than doom scrolling to keep up to date on a platform without taking a toll on users?
Let me know anything regarding this. It might save some of my future users from wasting more time than necessary.
Thanks
Without knowing what your plattform is all about, I'd argue that the feed itself is not the problem. If you are focused on stuff that is important to your users that's fine. The problem with doomscrolling is that it's not about being of value for the users but to keep them engaged in favor of selling ads. So If you exchange distraction with a clear focus on things that will help users to achive their goals, that sounds like a good idea to me.
