I would love to see a simple service that groups people who are willing to commit to getting up at the same time each day in order to hold each other accountable. There doesn't need to be anything significant - maybe it's just a matching service, letting people figure out for themselves how they can "check in" to confirm they are up and working at 6am (or whatever time is chosen). I know that I definitely can commit to something like this (e.g. going to the gym early) if I have at least 1 other person I'm doing it with.
- Selvik 15y agoThis is a great idea. Probably doesn't require any groundbreaking technology either. Dear internet, please make this. EDIT: An iphone app that let's people call and text each other as their profile name (anonymously) would probably lower the barrier to sign up for something like this.

- jacalata 15y agoMaybe even a combination of this with the idea of pledging money if you don't achieve something? How much more motivated would you be to roll out of bed at 6am if you knew that skipping it would cost your buddy cash?
- pknerd 15y agoSounds interesting! Who's going to make it? if none then I make and ask,"Who is going to finance me?" :-)
- dmragone 15y agoLove that people are responding positively to this. I shared the idea with my brother, and we're going to try to throw something together in our spare time over the next week. If anyone's interested in helping out (I'd say we're most in need of someone with good web design skills, though will update later once we've fleshed it out some), feel free to contact me at [my HN user name] at gmail
- Daenn 15y agoThat reminds me of a web app where you check in your work of the day, and the app tells you by week how well you did. Makes you build yourself objectives and stick to them. Not totally what you're asking for, but in the meantime maybe it would be enough ? I tried to find it but can't seem to use the right keywords, sorry.

- caw 15y agoI use https://idonethis.com https://idonethis.com, it seems similar. They send you an email every day at a time you configure and you answer back with what you've done. It tells you what your current streak is in the email and has a quote of some kind to ponder.
