Re: Show HN: I made this to get up on time, or do good
#2You would like to work on this other side project, get fitter, read, volunteer,… in 2019?
Same here. And I know first-hand it can be challenging to make time.
A great first step is to beat the charm of the snooze button in the morning. Get up on time, to have more time. And that’s how I came up with ‘Get up or die’.
How it works: 1. Set a time to get up 2. Get reminder messages in the morning, like a friend is chasing you 3. Get up on time – or donate $3.00 to a charitable organisation
So you either get up, or you do good. Win-win.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the current simple implementation. Also - to which charity shall donations go to?
Thank you. :)

quick question - how does it verify that you actually got up, instead of me just hitting the "I got up button" and going back to bed?

hi @allthatisrael - great question. currently, the service is entirely trust-based. thought of extending the functionality in the future to include e.g. a photo challenge (in the sense of submitting a picture of your breakfast for instance). but more validation needed if that's appealing to users - and there would be still an element of trust.
how would you go about this? ideas welcome :)

#5I like the idea, however, it's not very applicable to me personally since I don't have problems getting up on time. I would, however, be interested in a similar approach (give money to charity if you fail a resolution) for other things like reading, working out or something similar, so there's an idea you can maybe improve upon :)

Excellent, thanks @zlatsic!

Use geolocation on the phone and get the user to hook in their credit card number for automatic donations ;)
Give 'em a real kick up the ass

That's the 'no mercy' approach! ;)
But you're right - there is room for improvement to make the user journey shorter and more convenient (e.g. automatic donations). Will consider for next iterations!
