For me personally, the randomness works. Anyhow I was doing the same thing manually before. If I have something in mind than it's different thing.

The app is great!

I also have been working something similar: https://github.com/mitul45/ta-calendar. Let me know what you guys think.

PS: For now it's not quite responsive for smaller screen sizes.

mitul_45on The Dangers of Eating Late at Night

maybe.

mitul_45on The Dangers of Eating Late at Night

haha, I think that case might not be taken into consideration as religion is based out of India.

mitul_45on The Dangers of Eating Late at Night

Well there is a ritual in Jainism which says not to eat after sunset (remember: this was written/said generations before all science and research came into existence). Being Jain, I am just amazed by how precise our religion/literature is. Like many other ritual, this one is also backed by science now.

FYI: It's called "Chauvihar" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_in_Jainism)

Great! Thanks.

mitul_45on Ask HN: Ideas for tech in developing countries?

Better public transport. I have kind of an idea in my head, that might be useful to you.

How technology can help?

- Most of people who do not have their own drive, rely on public transport which is 'generally' overcrowded to reach to their destination.

- Now there are people who have vehicle (mostly car) for going to office (downtown like area) which has space for other 3-4 guys?

- I always see those empty seats and people on the other side of road waiting for a bus/train (which might be going to same place as that car).

- So if we can provide some way of communication between these two, wouldn't that be awesome? As they do travel on approximate same time (like morning 9-10) to same places.

- I do think people having vehicle don't have any problem giving ride to others who are sharing same or nearby offices. If they don't have to stop at too many places and wait.

How can we implement this? (just a suggestion)

- We can divide the whole city in some kind of hexagonal area <cellular towers?>, and then a simple mobile app can connect people travelling to same 'hexagon' maybe?

- Each hexagon should cover only 'walkable' area. So if I drop someone anywhere in that hexagon, his/her destination is at max 8-10 mins walk from there. Otherwise he/she might have to use other ways of transport which is not convenient.

I think it might change the way people travel in big cities.

It would be true People Powered Public Transport then! :)

Let me know your views on this.
