Little background: I created this website since I found myself looking at Google Maps everyday before I left work. I would keep checking the travel time to home and waited till it dropped to 20-25 mins or so. I wished Google Maps had an option to manually set up an alert on the commute time but they didnt, so I decided to work on this side project on weekends. Got some motivation from friends and www.when2leave.com was created.
Future: I have received some good comments and feedback from different channels, I will try to implement some of those suggestion. Need to figure out a way to make this a self sustaining operation. If you have any ideas on that front, feel free to reach out.
Thanks to Ryan, Eric and others at ProductHunt for featuring this and a warm welcome to the community.

Good idea. But, this is working within Google Calendar already. Why do I need another app?
@andyabramson Thanks! :) Google calendar works well for predictable commute events. This is more for when you have irregular commute and have some flexibility on when you can leave.

Great idea! How does it alert? I image keep the tab open?
@tkuva Thank you! At the moment, yes, you need to keep the tab open. Some additions coming soon are SMS, email alert and mobile apps that would send a push notification (may be an apple watch notification too, if we get enough interest in that :) ) Stay tuned!
