I built an app for waking up a friend without hijacking their phone

I built Send Alarm, an iPhone app for one very specific problem: sometimes a message or call is not enough to wake someone up.

The app lets you send an alarm to another person, but it only rings if they accept it. They can accept once, always accept from you, decline, or block. The actual alarm is scheduled on their iPhone with AlarmKit, so it rings through Silent and Focus.

Use cases I had in mind:

- waking a heavy sleeper

- making sure a friend catches an early flight

- study buddies

- long-distance couples in different time zones

It’s free for up to 3 alarms per day.

I’m mainly looking for feedback on the idea and first impression: useful, too weird, or one of those apps that sounds insane until you need it?

Luxembourg Castles — opt in for 14 days, I'll test yours back

Small heritage app about the castles of Luxembourg (maps, history, routes for visitors). I'm on the last stretch of the 12-testers / 14-day closed test before production access.

Opt-in link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kovallux.castles.android
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.kovallux.castles.android

What I need from you:

  1. Open the link and opt in with the SAME Google account you actually use on your phone. This is where most people trip up — opt in with one account, install with another, and the app never shows up.

  2. Install from the Play Store and keep it installed for the 14 days. Opening it occasionally is plenty.

Reciprocal, of course — drop your own opt-in link in the comments and I'll join yours the same day. Genuine feedback on the app is very welcome but not a condition.

Cheers.

Venue for offline workshop

I’m looking for a place to do a 2-hours IT workshop in Luxembourg Ville for 25-30 people. Budget is up to 300 euro. Do you have ideas of such place?

Requirements: big tv or projector, 30 chairs, central location.

Please, do not offer coworkings or House of Startups, I did a workshop there and they charged me 988 euro for two hours, which is too much. Others have similar prices or located too far. I’m a indie developer and not a company, and I’m just looking for a nice place with reasonable price to share knowledge with likeminded in Luxembourg. Thanks!
