🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A browser extension that enforces strict 20-20-20 rule breaks by overlaying a non-dismissible screen dimming effect.
- A desktop app that tracks blink rate via webcam and provides haptic feedback when the user stops blinking frequently.
- A curated directory of ergonomic monitor setups and lighting configurations specifically tested for software development workflows.
