This is really really awesome. I applaud you.

I had my own project trying to achieve a similar outcome to you, I wrote about it here: https://www.bytesizego.com/blog/keeping-alive-with-go. Your approach is much more hardcore. I hope you find a path to make them available to more folks.

If there is anything I can do to assist you please let me know!

Thank you! I remember reading your article! Even though you have to maintain it, it’s actually way better than what’s commercially available since you actually have control over _how_ you’re alerted, not to mention when to escalate to friends or family. I’ve heard Type 1 kids going away to college is a huge source of stress for parents/caregivers for this reason - Sugarmate and the SugerPixel help with this but it still feels like a huge problem (a Type 1 sleeping through a low).
