Timed Ban

Block certain sites (e.g. YouTube) for a period of time so that you can focus on your valueable work! A perfect use case is shutting down attention attraction website like YouTube.

Usage

Clone the repository and cd into that directory. Run

make ban [time in seconds] [lists of sites...]

e.g. this will ban YouTube and Quora for the next 60 minutes.

make ban 3600 youtube.com quora.com

Active Development

WIP:

• support more unit, e.g. minutes, hours
• handle some signals so it cannot be killed easily
• change makefile to make it run in the background
• rewrite in other fancier languages, e.g. python/go. C++ is bit of wordy and inconsistent (boost algo to others) here.
• upload it to a package manager

Feel free to suggest any other features you want!
