Coursicle is a popular edtech app that helps college students keep track of their schedules and set up notifications about closed and waitlisted classes. Now, one of its founders appears to be having a very public meltdown and is using Coursicle to send strangely personal push notifications to users. “Thanks for listening, I love you,” one message pushed out at nearly 3AM EST said. Another push notification informed users that “Twitter dies tonight.”

On February 7, people began reporting that Coursicle was sending out strange push notifications. “I literally just installed Twitter last night. Then today coursicle sends out its first notification to me saying ‘Twitter dies today,’” a Coursicle user said on Reddit. “I legit was wondering what my college calendar app was gonna do too. Like it and the Duolingo owl were gonna come to my house and smash my kneecaps.”
