Announcing DangAlarm! With the cool time-setting interface.

My alarm clock is live on the Amazon AppStore for Android.  I'm waiting to hear from Google Play.

It's an alarm clock, which on the surface isn't that exciting - but wait!  Let me explain why I wrote it so you can check it out.  It has some of the nice bells and whistles that most alarm clocks have - multiple alarms, progressive, vibration, multiple days.  But that's not the secret sauce...

I didn't write it because the world needs another alarm clock.  I wrote it because the way time is set on mobile devices bothered me from the first second I set the time on my Android phone five years ago.  I had a serious head injury, or it would have been released forever ago.  The interface to set the time looks like this:

Touch the H to set the hour hand.  Touch the M to set the minute hand.  I got tired of my hand blocking my view to what I was setting, and having to touch-touch-touch-touch-touch something until it was the right number.

I tried to make the dialog to dismiss the alarm easy to see through blurry eyes, so I laid out the snooze horizontally, with a bigger Z, and made the wake button vertical.  I also made the snooze number big and visible.

I'll add some more features to it, like a countdown timer, stopwatch, and a date interface, and then do some other things with it that'll hopefully make working with mobile devices more fun and more intuitive.

Coming Soon...

The announcement of an Android product I've been building that's in the final stages of development.

1/25/16:  In the final stages of test.  Should be within hours or days.  I can't wait to announce it once it's uploaded to the Google Play Store and Amazon AppStore for Android.
1/27/16:  Testing has been going well.  A few more tests and I'll be uploading it...
1/28/16:  It seems to be working.  Working on the artwork and uploading it.

Announcing the Release of SunnysideCRE Lite

I've just posted an upgrade to a product I started working on when I was in real estate a few years ago.  It's a minor upgrade that comprises the addition of a few features.  Most of the work has gone into renovating the code base, cleaning up how the program performs and simplifying some of the interfaces.

The program is used to value commercial real estate as it focuses on net operating income.  I've added a loan amortization calculator, that shows the monthly payment, total interest, and total balances paid.  There's also a file uploader function that starts with downloading a template file from the app.  Once the fields are filled in, the file can be uploaded to the program.  It's an attempt to make the program a little easier to use.

This version sets the foundation for the next revision, which will be attached to the web so listings can be downloaded and managed in a more fluid fashion.  The next version will have more reports, financials, images, maps, and more.

This version is free.  I'm not big on ads, but because it's free, there's one ad on the main page.  The program can be downloaded from both the Google Play Store and the Amazon Appstore for Android.
