      Lightbulb I'm trying to develop a lucid dreaming app - what features would you like or dislike?

      I'd like to develop an app to induce lucid dreaming. I know a few exist already, and I know these apps don't guarantee lucid dreaming. Many of these apps just make it easier to establish healthy habits and track your sleep patterns. So that's what I'd like to do - but I'm going to merge all the features of other apps in "one solution" that will be open-source. Because this app will be open-source, hobbyist developers don't have to work their way from the ground up to contribute to hobbyist research.

      I was hoping the DreamViews community could let me know what they think of the following:

      • App modes

        Not everybody wants to lucid dream at first. I'd like my app to cater to users who don't want to lucid dream yet but are still motivated to use the app on a daily basis:

        Observing only. The app will function like a regular alarm clock and only collect sleep data.
        Smart wake-up. The app will collect data and wake you up at an optimal phase of sleep.
        Lucid dreaming. Full-blown lucid dreaming. Sound cues, light cues, whatever you want, millions of options to come here later (+ alarm clock of course).

      • An online site

        The only thing I can think of here is sharing your sleep data with others and compiling statistics, comparing graphs. This could definitely be insightful for people. Of course, this sharing would only take place with the user's consent. Maybe you could tag graphs you upload with things like what you did, to see how it affects the graphs. It would be the first large-scale user reporting for lucid dreaming data.

      • Do you guys even want yet another lucid dreaming app?

        Would you use it? Do you think there's too many out there already?

      • What features would you like to see? And unsee?

        I'd definitely like to see a dream journal that uses audio recording and continuous voice recognition.

        Maybe something like "goals", which the app will help you work towards.

        Also the idea of "profiles" for settings, maybe a different one for the weekends compared to weekdays.

      • App name

        "Lymbo", "DreamIt" ... etc. (please suggest awesome names) People told me "Lymbo" was too scary. Agree/disagree?

      • App icon

        Black/white or Color with creepy smile (attached)? People told me these were too scary.

      • Android version support

        Do most of you here own an Android phone that is 4.0+? I don't want to support 2.3.3 since it makes my app less stable and its market share is dropping 2% a month (at 28.5% this month). But if everybody here owns a 2.3.3 then I might support it. iPhone version will come out after the Android version is completed.



      Like I described above, I'm imagining an app with these 3 "modes" and the program is an open-source functional merging of the Android apps SleepBot, Sleep as Android, Awoken, and Lucid Dreaming App.

      Right now, the features I want are kind of spread out over all these apps, and each of these apps is better at one thing than the others listed. Some apps are hard to use (Lucid Dreaming App), some are beautiful (SleepBot), but none really consolidate all these features into something I would use on a daily basis.
