🚀 Wild to see how far we’ve come in just 10 days.

Rise started as a simple idea:
What if an alarm actually forced you out of bed using NFC?

Now, after one week of going live, we’ve already hit 17 preorders and $255 in gross volume, and people are genuinely excited to start waking up on purpose again.

Huge thanks to @boltdotnew , @EricSimons , and @gethalfbaked for giving us the push to build fast, ship fast, and validate for real users.

This is only the beginning for Rise; the alarm clock app built for people who need to quit hitting snooze.

thank you so much. fixed

@WildTracGPS @gethalfbaked @boltdotnew This is great idea, you should add in a feature where you can select which language and country you would like to ride in,

@gethalfbaked @boltdotnew Thanks! You guys just wait till you see our final submission. 🫣

[Max Gallinek @Max19544]

We are building a mobile alarm clock app that forcibly requires users to get out of bed to turn it off.

Thanks to @gethalfbaked and @boltdotnew for sponsoring this hackathon.

Wake up. Tap in. Start your day.
Rise.

@DrunkEntrepreur This is very cool, my only piece of advice for you, for the "our verdict" section, maybe put it in bullet points instead of a paragraph. It would be much easier to read and you could empahsize the main points
