I was able to write an AppleScript that ran on connection to add a dummy ULA and a disconnect script that undid it and went back to auto v6.

I've found that using my v4 only network from my ISP and macOS can do v6 only without requiring a DNS server like you have been doing. I don't remember the details now, but after some digging a few years ago I realized macOS will happily work like that as long as it has a v6 address. I can put a ULA address on my host, and it's good to go. Granted this relies on users knowing how to do that. or depending on the VPN application to get to the v6 only network, you may be able to script adding a ULA (any kind even made up). You don't want to leave it wIth a made up ULA because that could screw things up if the user moves to a v6 capable network.

The US government is under a mandate to move to v6 only, so it's very much on some radars. Hopefully some ISPs follow suit.

I think the point is that API isn't just used for HTTP and your title assumes HTTP API

Do you have screenshots or a little write up? This sounds like something I could be interested in, but I don't want to download a phone app to see what it really is.

Any sort of pricing info would be really good to have on your page somewhere.

I'm not trying to be rude, but you claim the most customizable habit tracker, yet I don't see anything on the home page that shows how that's true. I see:

"time-based, count-based, and simply completable activities and habits." which are things on many other habit trackers. I'm curious if you have something cool that's not coming across on the homepage?

This seems silly, but the use of that emoji as your logo really turned me off. I have been trying to figure out why in order to give you better feedback, but I can't.

I think some sort of demo or something would be really useful. I do not want to sign up for something I can't see first.

This looks interesting, I too have problems even in the darkest of dark night shift. To be perfectly honest, I was ready to `brew install nocturnal` and test it out, but I'm not going to figure out what Carthage is and get that bootstrapped just to try this. I realize that's pure laziness on my part, but people are lazy when they can be. Might be an easy-ish hurdle to get more adopters

It would be really helpful to have a little blurb about what it is somewhere. Writing a tool, I know sometimes it's easy to forget that not everyone has the context, but that contexts would be super useful.

1.28 billion daily active users on average for March 2017 [https://newsroom.fb.com/company-info/]

would greatly disagree with your statement. It may not be the answer for everyone, but it could be that tool for a large chunk of the world's population.

I really like the idea, but on my Nexus 6 running Nougat, it said my library was just the Facebook app sounds. I saw no settings or anywhere to point it to my correct music location (I normally use Google Play Music, so whatever that default is..).
