Tools to monitor website performance?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6068848Hi,I'm curious what the current state-of-art for website performance monitoring is?Most of the tools I've seen are either Pingdom-style applications, which simply tell you if a website if up or down, or they're like YSlow-style, which run a bunch of tests to see if you're following best practices.But is there something like say, Chrome's SpeedTracer that you could run as a service, and monitor your website's performance over time? Or before/after each commit?What would you guys recommend to track the performance of your own website over time, or gather deep-level metrics?Could you use something like PhantomJS to achieve this?Are there any existing open-source projects that already do this?Cheers , Victor

Show HN: A tool that intentionally makes you forget your Screen Time passcodehttps://waittounlock.com/iOS Screen Time is a fantastic app blocker because it's built into the OS, unlike third party apps that can simply be uninstalled.The only problem is that it uses a 4 digit passcode. If I set the passcode myself, I can always override my app limits by tapping ignore limit and entering the screetime passcode.So I built WaitToUnlock.com. It's a simple website that generates a random ScreenTime passcode and guides you through entering it in a deliberately confusing way (for example: "enter 3, enter 7 + 2, delete it, now enter 5..."), making it very difficult to remember the final code.The passcode is then securely stored away. If you need it back, you can request it, but you have to wait at least 6 hours before it's revealed.That way, you can still get your passcode back if you really need it, but it removes the ability to override the app limits the moment the temptation strikes.
