Kickstarter: Shabbos App

[churnbabychurn]

Everyone on our team uses the shabbos app currently. It works, but has a lot of glitches and bugs, but we do message each other good Shabbos wishes etc. We would never develop a product we ourselves would not use. That's like a mashgiach who wont eat his own hechsher.

So you no longer 'suffer' the whole shabbos. Good for you!
Your kids will have no reason to go off your "derech"... Why should they.
Nebach.

Do you 'suffer' the whole Shabbos?

First of all what happens when you hit one of those glitches, oops..... that's one issur.
Also

Why is it that I have yet to see the name of one reputable Rov who says this is even feasible?

I must agree, you have a nice 'haskamos' tab, with no haskamos.
And in your case it's more like a משגיח who's knowledge of הלכה is not very great, (at least it seems that your team is lacking in the area of הלכה, as your arguments aren't very persuasive to me or a lot of the public besides those that want to be persuaded), and his כשרות means next to nil, so i wouldn't be at all surprised if you didn't 'eat it'.
And lastly why on the video did your team feel the need to make fun of תלמידי חכמים, it's אסור and you proactively 'protected' yourself from mussar.

Hi,

I'm with the Shabbos App team. If you contributed on Kickstarter, you would have gotten your pledge canceled and therefore your credit card would not be charged. You should have received an email from us letting you instruction how to get the app for free, if you did not please contact me.

Good luck!

Can't wait for the final release!

I've hear they have come out with a "shabbos car".. The haskamos are also pending, but the general idea is grama mechanics and " its only a derabonon" + oneg shabbos...
Sounds awesome! I'm so excited

Who needs that? With the Shabbos app we have Uber...

And if you have a really yeshivish car then it's only a ספק פסיק רישא, because it might not start, and it's לא ניחא לי׳, because you of course don't want to be over any issurim, so לכל הדעות it's מותר.

Which, since getting into a car is, I think, 'only' דרבנן, and paying for something, (especially with credit card) is also a דרבנן, it's תרי דרבנן and would be מותר, although you might be able to say much simpler that since it costs money it's לא ניחא, but that would depend on if you are using uber credit.

It's definitely לא ניחא ליה to the people around you who have to endure the noise and exhaust...

Maybe, but since you just texted them with the shabbos app that you're coming and they're expecting it I'm not so sure...

Not to mention that now kids will never go off the derech. They can now drive to the ball game on shabbos.
For kids who want to smoke there are E-cigs. -Its only a battery and a "derabonon".. R S"Z was matir a hearing aid..... This is also a chashash pikuach nefesh.... It is also saving the environment which is " Tikun Olam". Mamash a kiddush hashem!

And if you want to kill someone, throw a heavy rock upwards, and let it land on him, it's a "grama".
