I really like the reason behind developing this, having seen other similar apps that are annoying to use or have subscriptions. I downloaded it, tried it, and like the clean design. One suggestion I have is to make the sleep timer more gran

Sandstorm: it seemed quite nice with a lot of possibilities when it launched in 2014, but it didn’t really take off and then it moved to sandstorm.org. The creator, kentonv (on HN), commented about it recently here https://news.y
