Line 7:
: Oh I have no doubt you can make the program work, I was rather questioning the suitablity of the very specific requirements of your description: "type names without extension", "type seconds", "must be in its own folder"--what value do those provide as code examples here?
: ''And'', let me reiterate your "app"'s design goal: you kindly send this "app" to some hapless schmuck who has never seen a file extension or an alarm clock, so that he can wake up in time; now every night before he goes to bed he needs to fire up an html file, calculate how many ''seconds'' he needs to sleep, type that in carefully, remember what ''filename'' it is and type ''that'' in carefully, then spend all night worrying if he typed anything wrong (you did no error check) or if the computer would itself go to sleep before dawn (Mr. Schmuck might not have your l33t mobile device)—I feel sorry for the poor soul. Then again, it's probably his own fault for making acquaintance with a "major geekage" who doesn't know to use javascript to calcuate time or file drag and drop. Meh. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 23:10, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
::It probably just needs some rewriting. I think an analogue clock with an audible alarm (a variation on the "Draw a clock" task currently in draft), only it needs a full set of hands, a facility to set the alarm time, and a choice of audio file. This should not be a problem. I'm sure one of us can knock up a task description for that. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 23:31, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
