It’s always disappointing to see how quick people are to shit on others’ attempts to build connections in their own ways.
Yeah, it’s kind of silly to make a blinking light app when the phone implies they could just call or use one of a million text-based message options.
But he set aside his own time to build something he thought she would like. There are so many worse ways someone can spend their time on a computer (or in general), I don’t see why this seems worthy of ridicule. Also, why phrase it as “she wants attention”? Is it really any worse than her calling and saying, “I miss you” or “I’m just bored and want to talk to you”?
her calling and saying, “I miss you” or “I’m just bored and want to talk to you”?
Congratulations, you “built an app”. I mean I get what you’re saying and sort of agree, somewhat depending on his skill level. Like if this was hard for him to build that is cooler than if he was just showing off or something. Because yeah, communication is a solved problem. I once built an app that made a webpage that was sort of a coder/decoder for our messages so my then-girlfriend and I had a “secret language”. To me the appeal of that is that it was novel/silly/weird and it was unique to us. Which I guess is sorta like this app… but I dunno, this one also seems a little prone to abuse and one dimensional.
I’m disappointed that it’s not ok to say you don’t like things
I tried this many years ago as a way to stop being interrupted during work because task switching is extremely draining. The light was inconspicuous and out of sight from my desk. Didn’t work in the slightest and I still get interrupted by my wonderful partner several times a day by her meowing at me.
But what if he is not in that room?
It sends him a message blast via phone, discord, email, slack, Facebook. Then after no response, the house alarm starts ringing.

Mouths exist. You can just communicate using words. Fucking shocker, I know.
