Just wanted to thank @adamwolf for doing such a great job on the Android app! I seriously love the homescreen widgets.

Next up - going through all goals in the Android app and coordinating the reminder times with the ones from the website. As great as the Android app is, for some reason it has its own set of reminders that have to be configured, which is a little tedious.

( _This isn’t risky for me in the way it might be for some. I’m not especially likely to let each thing drift so that I’m pushing up against the deadline and an hour and a quarter late on everything each day Even if I did, though, my schedule would be just fine, so this isn’t a problem for me and can come in handy on the days my body decides I’m allowed to a little sleep more._ )

Now, I **am** especially likely to let things drift so I’m pushing up against the deadline, so I have some concerns about the way I put the deadlines 1h 15m after the start times. I guess we’ll see how it goes.

This is also why I made my rate 1/day for all daily goals (but with weekends off), rather than 0.8 or 0.9 or something, since I think I’d use up buffer as fast as I accumulated it.
