  • A weather widget on Android that shows all of current temp, high/low for the day, and high/low remaining for the day.

  • I don't think this needs to be a whole app, or just a feature within a camera app, but I want the ability to underlay an existing image at say 10% transparency on screen while taking a photo. It doesn't get saved, I just want to be able to use it as a guide for framing things, like documenting changes on sites or recreating old photos for fun.

  • I want to be able to open a line of communication to another driver nearby. Maybe a range of 100ft. I don't know if it's Bluetooth or what. "Hey your taillight is out" "hey coming up in your blindspot" "hey, please can I merge I'm not trying to be a dick" "hey is this the exit for Wawa?"

The amount of road rage induced shit talking that would be done via car-to-car communication would outweigh every benefit it could provide.

[–] londos@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I won't deny the potential for abuse. On the other hand, I think a lot of road rage comes from the disinhibiting effect of being alone in your car. I'd love to see a study to see if road rage can be reduced by letting people communicate.

Open camera has that. Settings > Camera preview... > Ghost image

Yo. Yooooo! Thank you!

CB radio is pretty popular depending on where you live. You'll start recognizing antennae everywhere once you get a kit and start messing around with it.

Won't hit everyone but it's pretty fun community usually. Trucks and just general weirdos, the occasional douche canoe but mostly good

I want to be able to open a line of communication to another driver nearby. Maybe a range of 100ft. I don’t know if it’s Bluetooth or what. “Hey your taillight is out” “hey coming up in your blindspot” “hey, please can I merge I’m not trying to be a dick” “hey is this the exit for Wawa?”

I think about this every time I'm on the highway, it would be so fun/useful.

[–] pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I said it in another reply but I'll say it again here, CB radio is awesome. Especially on the highway there's tons of trucker chatter and just general nonsense.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Huh, why didn't I think of that? Thanks

For weather, the hottest/coldest part of the day are almost always around the same time. If you know those, it's pretty easy to say "the temp right now is the hottest it will be for the rest of the day", or "the high for today will be the hottest when we get there".

[–] londos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, you're right. I'd still just like to see it. Maybe something like this:

64° ─────●────────▲───── 83°

With the dot showing the current temp within the day range and the arrow (up or down) showing if there is still a high or low spot left. As in, not the high for the day, maybe that's already past, but just to say, "there's a still a bit of hot left later"

[–] Tsuroth@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Sounds like something that could be made in KWGT. This is the custom home widget I made with weather info.

There's a weather widget preset you can import to use as a template to see how it works, and then you can add on to it from there.
