What Hacker News says?

  1. > Maybe deleting the native apps and using the webapps will raise the barrier to entry high enough that I'll only use them when there's actually something I want to do on them. That's worked pretty well for me. Also check out Kill News Feed and Kill Tweet Stream to avoid distraction if you need to use eg Facebook events or Twitter DMs. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kill-news-feed/hjo... https://chrome.go…
