Show HN: I made a app that uses NFC as a physical switch to block distractions

>>awasee+(OP)
It would be nice to see a demo of the app working in the real world with an nfc tag, not just an app recording.

>>fuddle+eh
Yeah, I have no idea how these tags are actually being used, let alone why they could be useful.

>>ameliu+ii
NFC tags can be scanned using a phone. An app on the phone can then detect the action and act accordingly. The phone can differentiate between different tags.

I use an NFC tag to lock the house using Home Assistant.

>>hailru+Zp
OK. Why not just tap "lock the house" on your screen? Or use a voice interface (which requires zero extra hardware)?

>>ameliu+fr
I like the hardware aspect, it feels very intentional and deliberate for context switching.
