Did you design the UI yourself? For me (and maybe most programmers) the hardest part of building an application is UI design. You did a really nice job.

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
The first screen I see on the page has a challenge that at least 8% of males (me included) can't solve. Matching colors is difficult to make accessible so it's no surprise that the example is one I couldn't solve, being partially green blind.
Hey really sorry about that, there are a variety of dismissal methods you can choose from including shake dismissal, qr scan, barcode scan and a simple stop button as well as this color tap. That dismissal method is just the one I went with for the screenshot, but there is something for everyone. I'm also looking in to giving users the option to change the color combination because I've received this feedback from tw…

I did do it by myself and I really appreciate you saying that. I used/modified a few icons and pictures that I found online though and their awesome creators (who released them under attribution licenses) are credited in the graphics credits section. I struggled a lot with the design and it was by far the most time consuming part of the app.

#114This is beautiful. Can you encourage me to get a good night's sleep somehow? Make my stars a special colour if they're made from plenty of sleep rather than just a bit of sleep?

#115I really like it. I didn't try it yet but it feel like I would enjoy this points system for waking up on time. I noticed that over the summer, when I was excited about my work (and trying to meet deadlines), waking up on time was not an issue. Now that I'm back to going to school, it's easier to snooze/sleep in. Also, it's easier to go to bed at more random times. What if you could also collect some points by going t…
It made me so that getting on time was easy as well! I love it!

#118Hi HN, I just wanted to add that I'm looking for any kind of feedback on the app. I've been working on it since graduating in may and released it a couple of days ago.
Some feedback here on your website: you've got the best testimonial section I've ever seen, you're mom should be really proud
Came to type this. The testimonial section is the best I have seen in a long time. Funny and touching.

Thank you! I have gotten a lot of awesome suggestions about the idea of reinforcing bedtime and helping promote good sleep habits and am looking in to a few options for that in future updates

Thank you, the template I used had these nice phone graphics and I thought they were just generic phones because I wasn't paying attention. Going to fix that now.
