Show HN: Dull – Instagram Without Reels, YouTube Without Shorts (iOS)
I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs. Tried screen time limits, just overrode them. So I built this.<p>Dull loads Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X and filters out short-form content with a mix of CSS and JS injection. MutationObserver handles anything that lazy-loads after the page renders, which is most of the annoying stuff since these platforms love to load content dynamically.<p>The ongoing work is maintaining the filters. Platforms change their DOM all the time, Instagram obfuscates class names, YouTube restructures how Shorts appear in the feed, etc. It's a cat-and-mouse thing that never really ends.<p>Also has grayscale mode, time limits, and usage tracking.<p>Happy to answer questions.
Dull addresses a significant and growing consumer pain point regarding digital addiction, but it faces extreme platform risk and technical fragility. The product relies on a 'cat-and-mouse' game of DOM manipulation that can be permanently broken by social media giants at any time, making it a high-maintenance utility rather than a defensible venture-scale business.
