A strong earthquake measuring 7.2 occurred in Hualien on April 3 last year. After that, there were constant aftershocks. The "Taiwan Earthquake Alert" application on the iOS platform gained widespread attention for its high accuracy rate. The developer, Lin Ziyou, was only a high school student at that time, and has now entered a university in the United States.
According to reports, the official push notifications from the "Taiwan Earthquake Alert" app previously indicated that due to a surge in user numbers, some errors occurred, for which they expressed deep apologies. They also mentioned that they are now aware of the relevant issues and will make corrections as soon as possible, asking everyone to be more forgiving, as the app is maintained solely by a high school student. They thanked everyone for their understanding and patience.
Lin Ziyou posted on the social media of "Taiwan Earthquake Alert," revealing that he did not pass through any special channels to apply for overseas schools. By the time the app received widespread attention, his application had already been completed, and he ultimately chose the University of Washington. After this news broke, netizens commented to express their gratitude, such as "At that time, because of this, the '地牛WakeUp' new command linkage function could not relay the intensity value," "This alert app has integrated into our lives, every friend around me has it, thank you very much," and "This app is very useful and reminds me a lot; I made a small donation to show support. You are great, and I wish you all the best."
Interestingly, another netizen with the same name commented, "Other Lin Ziyou can create an app to go to foreign universities, but I, this Lin Ziyou, can't even complete the required homework." Another netizen mentioned, "While other Lin Ziyou can create apps, what are you doing?"
