Title: I want an android alarm clock app that also shows the Bitcoin price
Post by: Elwar on December 19, 2014, 02:54:59 PM
Like most people I have a tablet that I never use except when I go on an airplane.

So, instead of letting it sit in a drawer somewhere I use it as my alarm clock. I have it set up next to my bed with a clock and it wakes me up in the morning with the ability to hit snooze or dismiss.

What would be even better is if when I wake up in the morning I hit dismiss and look at my clock and see the price of bitcoin below the time.

Not that I would pay a lot for this, I think it would be cool and I imagine it would be a simple app to write.

Elwar am I reading this correctly?
You are looking for a BTC price ticker?  ::) ::) ::)

Or you want it 2 in 1?
To be a real "ticker"? LOL  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

That's a good idea, waking up and seeing what's up with BTC price. You would need someone who knows how to code apps though, I'm not sure myself if you can get that done with your typical alarm app. Easiest way is just leaving whatever site you use open and refresh when you wake up. Your idea got me interested so if I find something else I'll edit this.

I think 2 in 1.
and this is good idea, especially with the price is changed suddenly when we sleep, and me is bad person who wake up in late morning. Sadly i'm not good in android programming, i hope someone can make this.

Well, if that's the case, then why not take it further and have an alarm if the price hits X$?
In case it drops or rises and you are sleeping.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!

I can do that for you, but why should I?

I think I can do this for you, what device do you have?  If its iOS I do not have a developers account to place in the app store unfortunately though...

EDIT-I just looked at the Subject and now I feel sheepish!

I can definitely do this for you if you are interested

My iphone is jail broken so I have a app that when the alarm goes off, siri also says to me the weather. Would be sweet if she told me the BTC price too.

I think we can set an agreement, how much would you be able to pay for this? we can escrow and I'll start the development.

Maybe that's very useful for trader btc ::)
And maybe not btc only, alt coin too.

Better abstract from the actual exchange and coin type. Maybe I can help with that.

I can provide UI, if you end up picking up a developer, he can partner with me for this.
Just throwing in my name :)

The app should sound the alarm if the price moves too much within a small span of time. I always thought it'd be fun to have an alarm clock play you a little story when you woke up, woven from little off-key ad lib type snippets.

Maybe...
Be like Jim Chesterfield. Jim woke up at 7am three days ago with a bad hangover. Jim went to the supermarket where he was assaulted by a large, pale woman wearing only sweatpants and a bra. Jim felt mildly discomforted and retreated to the YMCA where he donated money to unappreciative millennials. Jim then went to work where he was killed after accidentally discharging from his reproductive system onto his boss. The price of Bitcoin is currently server refused connection.

[Stay in bed]               [Face the day]

ETA: I'm bored. I'll see if I can throw you something together within the next few hours using MS Paint and AJAX. ETA2: Oh, missed Reynaldo's post.

Elwar's Clock (http://www.bmgtg.cu.cc/ElwarsClock.apk) (ARM only). You can tell that's Ron Paul by the ear hair. I can't really vouch for anything else (especially if you have a wide screen and see I had some... difficulty grabbing the time token properly). Price is pulled from Coindesk and uses the last time (UTC only) they grabbed price for "time" (they grab price each minute, which is roughly how often the app pulls the price). ... The alarm does work, so be careful. ... :D

Error app? Works fine on my S3. Won't run on x86 platforms (Crosswalk provides the apk for it, but didn't bother uploading).

Sounds like a good idea to me. I have been looking for decent alarm apps on the store myself and have yet to find one.
