Why I replaced alarm beeps with spoken quotes

 I kept hitting snooze every morning because my alarm triggered panic, not motivation. So I built Arise instead of a beep, it speaks a motivational quote aloud. Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Bible verses, read by real human voices.

The twist: if you snooze, the quotes get meaner. Three snoozes max. By the third one, your alarm is roasting you.
