Hey everyone! I launched a new app recently for the first time in 4 years. I’d love to get some feedback 
For context, this is how the app came to be:
I’m a huge fan of the Huberman Lab podcast. One of the most common pieces of health advice that Dr. Andrew Huberman talks about is getting morning sunlight exposure. This free, easy habit syncs your circadian rhythm (your body’s internal clock) which leads to increased alertness, better mood, increased focus, deeper sleep, ease of falling asleep, and more.
The tricky part about it is that the amount of sunlight you need can vary. On a cloudy day, for example, there is less light available. So, that number may be 20 minutes, whereas a sunny morning might only need 5. I wanted to build a tool that could calculate the optimal sunlight viewing time and track the habit.
My new app, Riseroo, uses the iPhone’s camera to suggest the optimal sunlight exposure time to users, based on light measurement, weather, and time of day. From there, users can build this habit via streaks, milestones, and insights.
For those interested, here is the app store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sunlight-tracking-by-riseroo/id6446605216
Also, I documented the entire process of building the app from idea to finished product and shared it on my YouTube channel. This is the link to my channel if you’re interested: https://www.youtube.com/c/LoganKoshenka
