Comment on Show HN: weekend project, an attempt at a simple bed time calculator

Comments

Interesting, I'm currently working myself on a mobile friendly clone of http://sleepyti.me/

Because using either of the two sites is not easy on a small screen. And who has his laptop with him when lying in bed and checking the wake up time.

Me! ^

I'm a poor college student with a dumb phone and a single room. My laptop sits on my desk, which is in the same room as my bed. Unless your mobile version works on an 07 Motorola Razr, and doesn't require a data plan, I can't use it. I assume this is not the case, so if you want to cater to my demographic, please make sure the site is usable through a normal browser without a touchscreen.

Note that my demographic isn't likely to drop a lot of money on an app that does this, but I'm not sure it's worth much at all.

^ OK, so I actually use a normal alarm clock and I get up and go to bed at the same time every day (calculated with this in mind).

Same here, I'm also a poor student with a really dumb phone :-)

I just think the majority would use such a site on their mobile. That's why I go mobile first. And I won't charge money, it's more like a little side project to try out new stuff!

What if you text it "Goodnight" and it responds with your alarm times? Easy to use, no data plan, and should be relatively simple to code.
