(a) What I meant was some of the most important things people say are often the last thing they say. If there were some feature people wanted they might have mentioned or hinted it right before you part. It was to a product feature I was referring to, not to goodbye.
(b) I was also asking about what you do with planning when the solution to a homework unexpectedly comes to you, either when you are working on something else or even not working at all. It can throw off the planning if you are working on something else. At which point you might decide to switch back to that other subject for which you now have a solution. And now you are starting to multi-task. I was asking how you handle that. I am asking because that's something I have personally found to be a problem with planning. I am not sure if the solution to this is planning software.
I enjoyed reading your blog post and this is a wonderful project to work on.

(a) Many people have said to gamify the application, or make a cool interface since high school students will be using it.
(b) There is no real solution to this problem, this is just your problem that you didn't think about this before, or you could go into the app and alter your planning so that it could fit in somewhere else.

Hey Emerson!
It's really cool what you're doing. I'm a 15 year old myself and I'm in a similar situation as you. Shoot me an email at zchlatta (at) gmail.com. I'd love to chat with you.
If I had help earlier I think things would be different.
(a) What was the last thing other students said at the movies, or say before you stop talking to any one of them about this project.
(b) Do you or other students have ideas about homework when you are not supposed to be studying? If so, what do you do then?
Great work with your project!
(b) I actually had the idea during the school year but i've definitely been thinking about homework a lot more this summer.
