Inspiration

The attention economy wasn't designed for kids!

What it does

NotSus.net gives kids access to multiple open concept building tools and learning engines. It isolates them away from distracting entertainment, biased media, and manipulative algorithms. It encourages them through positive reenforcement, not gamification.

How I built it

I started with a simple web browser using ElectronJS.

• I added content restrictions
• I cleaned up the UI
• I added a backend
• I built a parent and child dashboard

Challenges I ran into

• Building, signing, and notarizing my app for Mac and windows was extremely frustrating
• Implementing a database with Electron and my M1 Mac was more difficult than expected
• Current challenge is completing the dashboards
• Next challenge is marketing and getting feedback from users

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• NotSus is awesome! It's truly rewarding seeing my vision come together so beautifully.
• Simply trying to take on the norms of the attention economy for the betterment of society and children's futures has been extremely motivating.

What I learned

• I could talk for days

What's next for NotSus.net

• Teammates I'm looking for: Full-stack developer help, marketing help
• Funding, or a path to profitability
