What if your phone told you when your nuts were ready?

One thing I'm thinking about adding a live countdown timer that ticks down from the moment you start soaking, plus a browser notification that fires the second your nuts or seeds are ready.
So you'd start your cashew soak, close the tab, and get a push notification two hours later: "Your cashews are ready. Time to drain and blend.
No app, no sign-up, completely free just your browser doing the work.

On Android and desktop this works natively. On iPhone it requires adding the site to your home screen first a small extra step but totally doable.
Would that be useful to you? And would you actually use it?

Why I built HowLongToSoak.com

I've been making homemade nut milks and raw food recipes for years. Soaking is always the first step and it genuinely makes a difference. Not just in creaminess and texture, but in how much nutrition your body actually absorbs.
The problem is that most people either don't know soaking matters at all, or they do know and they're constantly Googling "how long to soak almonds" or "can I soak cashews overnight." Every nut, seed, and grain has a different answer and the information is scattered everywhere.
So I built one place for all of it. Select your ingredient, get the exact time, and see a live ready-by countdown from whenever you start so you always know exactly when yours will be ready.
What do you soak most and is there an ingredient you've always been unsure about?
