  • Oh the horror.

    Nice jingoism.

    I’ve never once had a problem managing my alarm clock for my days off (though it’s a neat idea).

    Your whole “Americans don’t sleep” nonsense is just that, ignorant nonsense. Maybe take this political bullshit somewhere else, not this post.

    Instead, perhaps, email the dev and do the legwork to get this feature, that only you seem to want, added. I do this all the time. Funny, it takes effort on my part to get features, instead of complaining and condemning people.

    MANY devs aren’t American, so you’re insulting them.


  • Does an alarm clock really need constant updates?

    I don’t get this fixation on constant updates. If an app works, and risks are trivial, then what updates are required?

    This app doesn’t have internet access, or storage access. I’d say risks are almost non-existant.

    And even for apps with storage or network access, again, if the other layers of your security are in place, and an app has nominal risks, constant updates aren’t necessarily required. Keeping in mind that changes bring errors too.

    Flat design may be less distracting to you but that also means it’s less clear, because there are fewer obvious demarcation.

    I despise flat design, it’s downright awful design, and done for looks rather than functionality.

    Even saying it’s “less distractive” supports this.

    Microsoft also did this to obfuscate features, which is pretty apparent when you consider new users used to “discover” features via the menu system. I supported Office for MS in the early days, and this was a huge thing at the time. It was discussed heavily when training on new versions.
