@all: Thanks for trialling 'Get up or die'. There is currently an issue with delivering text messages to some of you. This looks to be related to country codes, e.g. messages to China, Indonesia, Thailand and Hungary are affected. Checking with the provider - please hang in there. If anyone has experience with sending text messages to these country codes using Twilio, please let me know. THanks

@mds101: I've added a $10 balance request for first donations if users get up late. Will monitor acceptance level and look forward to additional feedback!

@mds101: Yes - the current sequence of messages allows for about 30min after the set wake-up time. Brainsync.

And I like the idea to add a balance. Would also limit the amount of partial / dummy records being submitted. Some people are cautious about giving their cc details to new services like this though, see e.g. wozmirek's comment further up. Any ideas how to give these users more confidence in the early days?

That's the 'no mercy' approach! ;) But you're right - there is room for improvement to make the user journey shorter and more convenient (e.g. automatic donations). Will consider for next iterations!
