On April 3rd last year, Hualien experienced a strong earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. After the 7.2 earthquake that occurred in early April last year, aftershocks were frequent. An iOS application called "Taiwan Earthquake Early Warning" has very high accuracy; the developer, 林子祐, was still a high school student at that time and has since entered a university in the United States. It is understood that due to the surge in users of the "Taiwan Earthquake Early Warning" app, official notifications indicated that some data had errors. The developer expressed deep apologies for this and promised to fix the issues as soon as possible. Given that the program is maintained by only one high school student, users are hoped to be more forgiving and provide time and support for improvements.
林子祐 posted on the social platform Threads for "Taiwan Earthquake Early Warning," revealing that he applied to schools abroad without using special admission. By the time the app became famous, he had already completed his university applications and ultimately chose the University of Washington. After the post was made public, netizens left comments expressing their gratitude and praising this early warning app for its help in daily life. Some netizens humorously teased that another person with the same name, 林子祐, was unable to complete their homework, contrasting their own efforts in developing the app, adding a touch of humor.
