Could you explain why this is strange? To me it just looks like a fractal algorithm.

I don't think you need to learn really hard core math to do CS. In my experience, the one most important "genre" of math was discrete mathematics. My textbook was Elements of Discr…

Dejavu! :)

Wow this app doesn't just overlay a moustache image but the moustache actually follows you around in realtime. Never seen this technology before. Awesome!

Yeah I agree that privacy is a valid issue. I will think about it some more. Thank you for the feedback!

Just fixed the www problem. Turns out I erased aname record and that was causing the problem (I was just following the tutorial by Heroku guys!!)

Thanks for the feedback! And that totally makes sense. I will add that header message.

Yes that would not be difficult, it will be added soon.

Oh cool man. This was originally Talk To The Future. I just refined the UI and got a new domain.

Thanks for asking. I think it's more about the message than the alarm itself. The problem I saw with alarms is not that I never hear them, but most of the times I do hear them but …

Great to hear that! Can you elaborate on how it being a timer rather than a clock makes it easy to think about? That might be very useful feedback for me. Thanks!

Yes. By the way XHack hackathon was really awesome. Best host ever.

Thanks! Well I think the whole point of WakeMyself is it functions both as an alarm AND as a dream capturing tool, which means, you do know when you wake up--it's the time you set …

Thank you. Yeah the reason that I've made this available for free currently is because I thought if I started out charging I would be fixed with that business model, and I don't ev…

Wow that's pretty hardcore. Respect. But I bet you weren't able to do text-to-speech thing back then :)

Exactly! I actually had these two separate ideas, and they came together while I was trying to build the first idea. What was awesome was I was actually able to capture my dream on…

Have you ever tried something that tells you what to do? I've tried things that wakes me up with music or all kinds of things, but the key here I think is the message you can write…

Yeah I kind of struggled with time zone thing for about an hour and decided not to bother with it, just to build the minimal version. But I think for the sake of usability, I shoul…

How does your app do text-to-speech, if you don't mind me asking? The reason for building this as a service is because I thought there's more to this than just a single player alar…

Yeah, I think in my case the "calling" part is the most important part. It's not even about the calling itself but more about the message. If I get a call from myself and it says "…

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! Yes I used Twilio API. I went to a hackathon last weekend and built this using Twilio API, and it was cool so I decided to refine it some more and…

Does it call you?

Hi guys, I built a site to solve a couple of my problems regarding sleep, and thought you guys might like it too. It's called WakeMyself, and here's the URL: http://www.wakemyself.…
