Designing a Smart Analog Clock, Part 1: Motivation, Goals & Constraints
Hello, and welcome to the first part in my "Designing a Smart Analog Clock" series!
To start off, let me explain what this is about: I am a very heavy sleeper, and my phone alarm is not loud enough to wake me up most of the time. Instead, I use an old-fashioned analog alarm clock with a physical bell that's loud enough to wake me up on time. The problem, though, is that I lose out on all the features of an alarm clock app – no alarm schedules, snoozing, or automatic daylight savings changeover.
