We used to put a marble and water in an empty camera film roll canister (transparant). Freeze in the freezer and flip over. If you come back and the Marble is frozen on the bottom of the canister: don't eat anything! #lowtech

Repost from last week, but I accidentally posted it in the new instead of the ask thread, sorry! I'm particularly looking for feedback about how to explain the product better (aka creating a better sales pitch). Somehow I find it very hard to explain a simple product :). Now also available outside of Europe.

Thank you for the feedback. The choice for stock-photos is one of budget. I'm currently bootstrapping myself and thought this was a good tradeoff.

This is currently because of insurance reasons. After I get some customers, I'll get that sorted out ASAP.

Currently the battery of the phone lasts for at least a week. With GPS this would be reduced to a day or less. Also location services are opt in. You would not be able to opt-out of time tracking through GPS, which makes a big difference. The article you linked actually to explains the dangers of location tracking in great detail. You should read it :)

Simple explanation: RFID => reading a chip, NFC => communicating with a chip.
