Random but this app was founded by ex-NFL quarterback Carson Palmer's brother Jordan.
Also still requires you to check your phone during a movie which should be immediate jail time across the board.

Not true! The app has cues that you can read ahead of time. Eg:
> Bob says “I didn’t know you were French!”
When you hear Bob say that, there’s your chance to go.
The app will give roughly 3 cues per movie, about 15 to 30 mins apart, so you have multiple chances.
Also, apparently you can set it to go off with a timer, although I haven’t used that feature. On iPhones you can allow specific apps notify even when you’re on Do Not Disturb, which would probably be useful in this case.
So instead you suggest making it go off with a timer instead? That seems even worse!
And a discrete timer that vibrates in my pocket disturbs noone. And it does it at the best possible times.
1. If you’re going to use the cues, you look at them before the movie starts.
2. If you’re going to use the timer, the phone will vibrate in your pocket. Granted, if you have a loud-vibrating phone, that could be disruptive (although not as bad as the screen being on or ringing, and not worse than a person getting up to go to the bathroom).
When the cue/timer happens, you leave the theater. While you’re peeing you can look at the app to find out what’s happening in the movie.
I think about that a lot when I'm trudging through the muck on forums, especially TeamBlind. There are kids in their 20s getting burned out at Amazon who'd be able to singlehandedly revolutionize the engineering processes at most normal companies in the world.
You'd have to believe that talent and compensation are actually well-correlated and I'm pretty sure it's tenuous at best.
Yeah, the kids coming out of top schools and crushing their LeetCode interviews are probably smarter on average, but it's not like that necessarily translates to the sort of skills or behaviors that can revolutionize business practices.
When I used this, that's how it worked for me.
Unless you use a smartwatch.
