I would find an avocado alert more useful but sub-second accuracy for short time before they are over ripe might prove difficult to implement.

Nice! I went bananas when I saw the page. Started to monkey around with the settings. And I went baboom when I saw that it would text me.<p>&#x2F;* Engage HN filter <i>&#x2F;<p>How do you plan to monetize this? This is clearly ripe for disrupting the fuits&#x2F;supermarket economy. Like an Uber but for fruits.<p>I think you should email, tweet, instagram, like, share, deck and meet Paul Graham in order to get into Y combinator. This will be bigger than AirBnB.<p>Ryan from Product Hunt will be contacting you in shortly!<p>&#x2F;</i> Filter off *&#x2F;

Add photo interpretation (heck, do it manually at first as MVP) and you might get quite a few &quot;colorblind&quot; users. Fruit ripeness is a huge problem for many and bananas are usually the example.

You need a 226262 short code. Text a photo of your banana to BANANA and we&#x27;ll send you back a text when it&#x27;s ready to eat!

What&#x27;s missing here is that old animated gif of the dancing banana.

This appears to be running on port 4567, just FYI many firewalls won&#x27;t allow nonstandard ports. Perhaps port forwarding or a DNAT rule could help you reach a larger audience?

You should add email notifications too. I&#x27;m in Canada so my carrier isn&#x27;t listed, but I want to know when to eat my bananas. Last time I was at the grocery store they only had extremely green bananas so now I&#x27;m playing the waiting game.

Here I am developing a BLE ethylene monitoring device. Arg, your implementation is so simple. My kickstarter is doomed to failure.

Missing the doctype. Some people who would like to use this site would be on some outdated browsers that would break without a doctype :(

Add an &#x27;upload a photo&#x27; option to automatically set the current banana color. And then I&#x27;ll have a photo history of all the bananas I&#x27;ve ever eaten as well!

Absolutely brilliant. Now you just need to release this for every fruit. Appleapp. PineapplePulse. Instant billion dollar unicorn company.

Thinking of a drunk scenario, where I could end up setting bad alerts for me and eating a lot of green bananas; it would be wise to add a drunk check such as simple math sums.

Very Big Dada of you, wonderful. Thanks.
adrenalinerush6almost 10 years ago
If you choose a color of brown, but a preference of greener, you&#x27;ll get the notification right away ;)
dignickalmost 10 years ago
I won&#x27;t be happy until the banana can wirelessly notify my Apple Watch that it is now ripe.

You&#x27;re missing green&#x2F;brown which is what half of the bananas at my grocery store are.

Since HTTP is deprecated, and you can&#x27;t get TLS certificates for IP addresses, that means pages hosted like this will be at a disadvantage from now on right?

Public VM crashed, no different ip. RIP Bananalert...

Really could use a checkbox for the &#x27;Bag and Apple&#x27; users out there. Faster ripening times but still could use a reminder.

Nope. No. No no no no no. I don&#x27;t know what the hell you want with my number.

Hey! I got it! You build it to get ads from &quot;Despicable Me&quot;.
