I am puzzled by so much fuss about one simple and small app (I am not questioning its usefulness, I am using it too). Every once in awhile (and frequently lately) it pops up on hacker news front page or somewhere on the web.
I am one of the people who love the idea of f.lux. I use it and it makes my eyes feel a lot better and makes me feel sleepy at the right times. But the app itself is terribly broken, at least on El Capitan. Whenever I switch modes, the screen flashes the original blue colors---my impression is that even a few seconds of blue light can mess up melatonin production, so this is unacceptable, especially from an app that…
The issues you're talking about aren't ones I've seen anyone else complain about (and don't happen for me), so I'm wondering if there's something specific to your configuration that's affecting it.
Is anyone else puzzled by the idea of f.lux consuming 14 developer years (at least according to the article), it's an awesome app but that seems like a huge number for what it is: a gui interface to a very simple function*. [0] http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/sct-set-color-temperatur...
there is a whole bunch of stuff built but unreleased outside of the app.
Am I the only one who used it, and hated the fact that my colours were obviously all wrong?
Each time I used my computer at night, I noticed that everything was tinted red, and it had no obvious effect on my sleep.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What kind of stuff?
It is complicated. I only know because I am a friend, so we have to wait till he releases stuff.
I use it, and I like it, and I think it works. But I also think they should really try to publish a paper on it, proving it works to improve e.g. people's sleep quality.
There's 29 comments here and every single one is neutral or positive about Flux as an idea. Am I the only one who used it, and hated the fact that my colours were obviously all wrong?

I use redshift[0] on my linux machines which I really like. Cyanogenmod has LiveDisplay natively which is practically the same thing unfortunately it works off off gps location and not manually editable lang/long. Both are really helpful. [0] http://jonls.dk/redshift/
