App ideas to develop for Sailfish OS

Just because one app already exists doesn’t mean another app with the same purpose is forbidden. If someone can make it even better and more functional, they can. We can have ten stock market apps too.

Sure. But I did mention I like the stock app but missed a feature. He pointed out it already exists.

What do you mean with “Maep .. doesn’t work anymore”? For me it’s works fine on my JP2026.

about weeknumbers in calendar:

No, it’s there from the start.

And the design decision to show weeknumbers only when needed is a good example for unobstrusive design.

I think the design is great. But I don’t understand how I missed it if it really was there from the start…

Question to the ones wanting a holiday calendar: Why don’t you just import those from an ics file instead of wanting a separate app?

Oh so right, Maep works as an app, But here we were talking of the MML map, wich is Finland’s detailled state made terrain map. So in Maep, if you try to take ‘Peruskartta’ as the Map provider, it doesnt show anymore.

Also simple moon phases in the Calendar would be nice.

you need to rebuild voicecall/plugins/ngf/src/ngfringtoneplugin.cpp at master · sailfishos/voicecall · GitHub adding personal ringtones functionality

This idea should be asked for Jolla developers to create.

Maybe some people dont want to fill their calendar with dates. I check calendar for important meetings and dates.

You can enable/disable calendars too so it can be as cluttered as you like

Re holidays & moon phases: no app required. It is possible to import these from .ics files provided by certain websites, sometimes for years into the future. Unfortunately these are not self-renewing so evtl. they will run out - which could be half solved with a calendar reminder.

Anyhow, here are sites I used in the past:

<Full Moon Calendar & Astronomical Events for iPhone / iCal / Google / ICS
<Kostenlose WebCal-Kalender und -Events vom führenden Anbieter

And here’s a whole suite that allows for some customisation & automation:

<GitHub - PanderMusubi/lunar-phase-calendar: Rolling ICS calendar with lunar phases for five years in advance · GitHub
<GitHub - commenthol/date-holidays-ical: Generate ical (.ics) files from date-holidays data · GitHub
<GitHub - commenthol/date-holidays: worldwide holidays · GitHub

What great news. I’m available to act as a beta tester as well.

GUI for Deltachat or Arcanechat (TUI available on OR), or to say DC or AC compatible App (using Chatrelay).

We need a tides widget for the notification-page in the style of the jolla-weather widget.

DeltaChat GUI would be very welcome. There is a CLI app, But I’m lazy… :wink:

Another way is to port Deltachat app from Ubports which should be possible since SFOS 5.1 as nephros wrote here.

I would prefer to have moon phases in the eventscreen under weather widget than make calendar more cluttered.
