I bought Mudita Kompakt, who am I?

@UME_1138 To be fair, my question for you is: Is setting a timer for boiling an egg an intrinsic function of a phone? If it is, then shame on Mudita for not including it in the inital release. If not, then what has Mudita done wrong?

I love the dialogue on this forum, but I want to make sure @urszula and the team know that there is a great divide between what the Kompakt was made for and what people expected the Kompakt to be able to do for them. So next time we complain about the Kompakt missing this or that feature, can we just first ask ourselves the question, “Is this feature intrinsic to a phone?” If not, why do I want my phone to be able to do it and can I rely on something else for that function?

Just to be sure you know I mean well, I wanted to end with a bit of good humor. Every true minimalist knows there’s only one kind of timer worth having:

PS. The built in AOSP “Clock” app does have a timer, you would just need a way to open it (like a launcher or my favorite File Manager). Once you do access it, though, it will become clear why Mudita designed their own Alarm app, as the dark theme of the original app makes it difficult to see on the eInk screen.
