Yeah that's true. I set up blogger a few years ago and I just haven't gotten around to self hosting it yet. I have a todo list of things I want to switch over to.

I wrote this article because I couldn't really find a good email tutorial that included DNS setup. I hope this helps you out. It's 2017 and it's surprisingly difficult to set up an email server, but hopefully this will make

Thanks. React Native looks like a great platform. I haven't really done much with that yet, but it looks really interesting. Unfortunately, android and IOS both have pretty big learning curves, but I think knowing both is pretty hel

Yeah I like it. That sounds like a relatively easy thing to implement, which could "fix" having your phone's default alarm sound instead of the song of the day.

I'm glad you like it. :)

Both apps are native. I wrote the first app in Android, and then once I got that hammered out the way I liked, then switched to ios. On IOS it's written in Swift 3.

That's actually a good idea. I will definitely need to update the description to reflect that. Thanks for the feedback :)

Or an electric "jolt". But that might be a 2.0 feature. lol.

It's not my music. Actually, I get artists to submit their songs, and I pick the ones I like. Or I reach out to artists I like and ask for permission to use their songs. No, all the phones will pull the data at a different time, so i

Yeah that's true. There are a lot of low quality alarm clocks out there. I have been personally using the android version for a few months now and it works pretty well for me. I haven't used the ios version as much so it's

Sure there are plenty of apps that can do that for you. But, I think that this has "better" music. Plus I can personally guarantee there won't be too much swearing. Most of the songs don't have too many lyrics.

by kuczmama 9y ago
Yeah but this is "better" music. And it's on your phone... so there's that.

It's actually a new hand-picked song every 24 hours. If you're curious, on how exactly it works. I have a rails server which I host all of my songs, which updates once a day. Then I pull in the song data from the server into th

That's actually pretty cool. I don't think it's an alarm clock though. Maybe they could add that feature.

I'm the same way. That's why I built jolt.

by kuczmama 9y ago
Another product to allow strangers to wake you up, or something similar to Jolt?

Now I can reply to this question. I guess we can't have too many nested replys. I actually haven't tested having the alarm go off with an external speaker like that. But, when I'm using headphones it will actually play on bot

That's a good suggestion. Right now it actually does cache the song when it's on wiFi, so it often works correctly. But, I find when my phone gets low on memory, the cache is sometimes cleared, and if I'm not in WiFi, it wi

It's my pleasure. That's true. But it's "only" 365 songs a year. I have no issues curating the content as long as people are using and enjoying the app. You have a good point, I need to write a better descriptio

That will need to be a separate app. There isn't a place for it in jolt, but I do think it could be another fun side project to work on...
83.
by kuczmama 9y ago
It sounds like that could be part of the fun. lol.
84.
by kuczmama 9y ago
That's a good point, I think a lot of people feel the same way. One option as a "workaround" for now until I have time to build something out, would be to use your current phone's default alarm and then use jolt on top

It's like the alarm clock version of ChatRoulette. I like it haha. That's actually a pretty cool idea, it's different enough that it could be a completely separate app.

by kuczmama 9y ago
Yeah I heard about that. I tried the Next Radio App, but it said it wasn't supported on my device. Waking up to the radio is a good solution too. But hopefully you'll like the music on jolt enough to keep coming back.

Haha that song would not be good for an alarm clock. It's interesting, I actually allowed people to choose a song for a backup ringtone before, but I ended up taking out the feature. Everyone I showed it to found it kinda confusing.

by kuczmama 9y ago
Yeah, it is kind of surprising. I didn't do a ton of research into the competition, but as far as I know there isn't really much like this.

by kuczmama 9y ago
But this is on your phone...

by kuczmama 9y ago
Yeah unfortunately, if the iOS app is in silent mode, the alarm won't sound. (As far as I know silent mode is the orange toggle switch on the side of the phone). That's just an apple thing. But, as long as you're not in si
