A dev got so bad at taking breaks that he built a black hole to force himself. Here's how it works: → Fresh session: tiny hole, top right corner, barely noticeable → 30 mins in: it's drifting. Getting restless. → 55 mins in: it's enormous. Your text is bending around it. → Take a break: it quietly shrinks away → No break: it demands one The whole thing is a single shader file. No background process. No setup. Just physics-based psychological warfare against your own worst habits. Here's the GitHub Repo: https://github.com/s0xDk/ghostty-blackhole
