Free app idea:

ReadBook:

It auto closes and locks out Facebook (and other billionaire-led social media platforms) and gives user a screen-sized message:

"Open a book

just f*cking read..."

Jackson Blake 5v5 stats last year among all NHL forwards (> 500 minutes)

61.2% CF% (#1 in NHL just ahead of McDavid)

61.4% SCF% (#1 in NHL)

60.5% xGF% (#4 in NHL)

He made every line he was on better. He’s literally 21. His stats aren’t elite yet but the metrics say they will be. Trust Tulsky.
