Weblock

Cal Poly "SLO Hacks" Hackathon Project

Description

A program which temporarily blocks websites, designed for students to improve productivity while working and studying.

Add, delete, and select sites. Then input desired time and save to start blocking. Inputted websites are stored locally after saving.

If the user has any reason to stop the countdown, they may fill out the required fields. The questions ensure that the user has a resonable explanation to stopping the timer prematurely, and give them some time to think about their decision.

While the countdown timer is running, selected websites will be inaccessable in normal and private browsing modes. Once the timer ends, refresh the page and the website will become accessible.

Here is the program folder. The program is compatible with both OS and Windows systems, and each have their respective Run executables.
