Building Zero Inbox in public with a countdown: 59 days 1 hour to launch

I decided to build Zero Inbox, the email client for people with ADHD and those who really value their focus, in public and with a public countdown. Just so people can shame me if I don't launch it in 59 days and 1 hour. You can find the countdown and the first blog post where I explain why I have to build Zero Inbox landing page: www.gozeroinbox.com

I have ADHD, and my default relationship with my email is 2000+ unread in the primary inbox, and over 80k if we add Gmail's Updates, Promotions, Social and Forums. I've missed surprise birthdays, weddings, and many other important gatherings as a result of this. I've missed out on career opportunities because recruiters had to email me 3 times, just to get a "oh hey, I am actually interested."

My updates will be a mix of software engineering (Flutter, Dart, general principles), product management (UX, what features to include, how to measure success etc.) and growth (experiments, sharing what worked what didn't, etc.):

Please follow along and chime in with your thoughts and advice throughout this journey!
