The idea for Yell Clock came from a situation I’m sure every board game player has experienced. The game is exciting, everyone is having fun, chatting, and playing… but then someone forgets it’s their turn. The game stalls, and you keep hearing: “Is it my turn?”
Yes, it’s your turn.
In one of my recent sessions of Skjio, I was playing with my wife, her friend, and the friend’s husband. My wife and her friend kept blocking the game with endless gossip, while we sat waiting. That’s when I turned to her friend’s husband and said: “We should have an app to control turns. When the time is up, it would just yell the person’s name so we don’t have to.”
And then it hit me: I’m a Flutter developer. I don’t have to say “we should have an app…” — I can actually build it.
And that’s how Yell Clock was born.
