The Mailblocks: Physical Inbox for Virtual Alerts #piday #raspberrypi
Pick up your dopamine delivery at the Mailblocks. With this project you will only receive push notifications on your phone when you physically “pick them up.” A Pi acts as a router and blocks push notifications network-wide, only sending when your phone is put inside the mailbox.
I find myself easily distracted by push notifications, and Do Not
Disturb just isn’t sticky enough for me. After particularly screen-time-heavy night, I joked to my wife: “push notifications should be like regular mail – you should have to go somewhere to collect them. Once a day, max.”
