I read this and it immediately shouted at me:
"Chatroullette clone"
I'm not entirely sure how this might work. Maybe something along the lines of :
Every 15 minutes a screenshot of your work is sent to a complete stranger. If they think you're procrastinating, they can hit a "horn" button which causes a loud noise to occur on your computer, and broadcasts 5 seconds worth of your reaction.
This would need some impressive anti-troll precautions. Or at least a way to temporarily disable the horn, so nobody can blast it when you're in the middle of a video chat with a client, but then that'd be a source of temptation.
Alright, imagine that you as the "watched" have a choice on the type of alert you get hit with. And on the number of strangers that have to want to alert you before it happens - maybe your screen gets sent to 10 strangers and they have to achieve a quorum.
Or 10 friends. This could be a facebook app.
If anyone decides to work on this, please let me know in advance.
