I got sick of blank new tabs eating my time so I built one that shows my whole life as a grid

I open new tabs probably 30-40 times a day without even thinking. Just click and the blank page loads while my brain catches up. It started bothering me more and more lately.

So I built this. It replaces the new tab with a grid of your entire life. Past weeks light up white. Future ones stay dark. Right on the edge there's one square glowing and breathing — that's the one you're living right now. Under it a counter ticks down the time you have left down to the millisecond. Or counts up what you've already spent. Whatever feels heavier.

That's literally it. No feed no weather no to-do stuff. Just that quiet visual hitting you every single time.

I kept it stupid small open source zero tracking only storage permission for your birth year and theme. Been running it a couple weeks and I swear the tab feels different now. Can't mindlessly scroll the same way.

If you're the type who lives in Chrome and ever wonders where the days go you might feel it too. Link's here if you wanna try it

Chrome

Code on github too https://github.com/imsovikde/Aevum

Curious what the grid does to you when it loads the first time. Or if it does nothing. Either way hit me with it.

How do you guys actually write those really long calm sleep narration scripts with ChatGPT ?(I only have free Claude)

Hey guys,

Hope this isnt a dumb question but Ive been reading a bunch of the sleep video threads here and theyve been super useful. Im just starting out trying to make my own channel with calm philosophy that people can put on at night to help their mind chill out and drift off.

The biggest headache for me right now is the scripting. I have a ChatGPT subscription so I can use that as much as I want, but for Claude I only have the free version. When I try to get it to spit out a full 2-4 hour long narration script it either starts repeating stuff, goes off on weird tangents, or just sounds too stiff and lecture-y instead of that relaxed vibe.

Ive tried some basic chaining and feeding it research bullets first but the output still doesn't feel natural enough for these super long relaxing videos. Anyone figured out good ways to get really solid long human-sounding scripts out of ChatGPT (especially since thats what I actually have paid access to)? Or even decent results from the free Claude tier? Like what kind of prompts or tricks do you use to keep it coherent and calm all the way through without it sounding like obvious AI?

I'm pretty new to the scripting side and just trying to get a few decent videos made without spending forever fixing everything. Any real workflows or prompt examples that actually work for this kind of long calm narration would mean a lot.

Thanks so much in advance, really appreciate any help.
