Show HN: Periodic Fire Drills in Windows

1 point

a year ago

i made a simple windows app called fire drill for people who want to be better prepared for emergencies at home. here's how it works:

- the first time you run the scheduler, it adds itself to your startup in windows. the scheduler is lightweight and will run in the background 24/7.

- at random times, it triggers a fire drill

- the drill lasts for 15 minutes. you cannot turn down your computer's volume during this time to more accurately simulate a real fire drill

the idea is to encourage you to practice your home fire escape plan. because whereas every school and organization practices this regularly, nobody does this on their own volition
