Congrats on the launch! Been using the beta and have been enjoying it. The notification is helpful, reminds me to look outside!
Andrew Yates
@bangner Thanks so much for helping test it out. :)

Nice, @ay8s! Useful tool for photographers (cc'ing a couple of them: @stevesi, @tzhongg, @shreebobnish).

@rrhoover @stevesi @tzhongg @shreebobnish Thanks Ryan. :) Already kicked off work for the next update with some tweaks so would love any feedback! :)

@ay8s @rrhoover @stevesi @shreebobnish thanks for the tag, Ry! downloading now :)

@tzhongg Would love any thoughts. :) Planning to make the app useful even when opening nowhere near sunrise/sunset. Right now you can dive in and get a little disappointed as you don't get anything useful from it initially.

Incorporating the magic hour for photographers and sending notifications would be awesome! For those that don't know, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky.

@ryanmtaylor Thanks Ryan! That's one thing it's lacking right now are the actual times. It reminds you ahead of time but I'm not currently showing them in the app. Will look at adding those in for v1.1. :)

@ay8s My photographer collaborator and I spent too much time in the last 2 days looking for an app that would do exactly this. We are still looking unfortunately but being that we are in Los Angeles, it might help film students/photographers/etc. manage light without the added expense of additional lighting. Looking forward to future updates.
Andrew Yates
@ryanmtaylor So you're ideally looking for it to display the Magic Hour times and perhaps reminders ahead of time?

@ay8s I am looking for an app that does that, your app just seems like it could do it already based on what I see.

Do you use Alpenglow?
