1 replyFell in love with QlockTwo word clocks that spell out the time ("IT IS TWENTY FIVE TO SIX"), then saw the $7,000 price tag.
Figured I could code my way out of this one.
Spent a month building WordClock Widget for iOS.
Built with Swift, live on the App Store. Sometimes the best products come from spite and an empty wallet
Would love your feedback, fellow widget enthusiasts!

When the QLOCKTWO came out. I thought is was unique something new in telling time. I did some searching and found an app for it for Android. Loved it had it on my home screen over time and changing phones I lost it nowhere to be found.
