| Jun 4, 2015 at 10:15 | comment | added | Nzall | @ChrisH Just last night, I was kept awake longer because I received an email notification. Some phones also do not yet support silent periods. I know Android didn't support priority only mode without an extra app until Lolliop. There might be apps for older systems, but not everyone knows about those. And you'd be surprised at how complacent people can become once they're used to a problem, even if they learn how to fix it. | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 9:43 | comment | added | Chris H | @NateKerkhofs, I mean does anyone really turn those audible notifications on and not silent the phone when they sleep? (e.g. I use an app so my phone will make noise for incoming calls/texts from a very select set of people, while only blinking for IMs from the same people) | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 16:08 | comment | added | Nzall | @ChrisH In theory, it's possible. If someone has a twitter notification for any DMs he receives, if someone DMs him about the message, and if the notification sound is loud enough. I know I've been awoken before by receiving a notification for an app in the early hours. | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 15:47 | comment | added | Chris H | @NateKerkhofs maybe I'm old but do many users really have notifications that would wake them up for a messaging system that could support spam (apologies to the OP, not accusing you)? | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 14:13 | comment | added | Nzall | "The user will be expecting it to be, by default, in their time zone." There are actually 2 sets of users here: the user of the software that the OP is making, and the social media user that will receive the message. The success of the action of the first set of users depends on whether the second set of users receives their message at an appropriate time in their timezone. I do NOT want to be woken up 2 hours early because some guy in New York forgot to set his clock right. | |
