Resolve day/night time from geolocation #11

Open cardil opened 2 years ago

cardil commented 2 years ago

For most people, the day/night transitions shifts during the year. It would be nice to be able to resolve them automatically from given geolocation.

I image the UI could be extended to have a checkbox titled: "Use geolocation to resolve Day/Night time". When checked, fields for latitude and longitude could have appeared. When fields are filled, Day/Night time is automatically resolved.

Such feature is for example implemented in DarkReader extension:

The sunriset library looks like a good candidate to easily implement this. Here's example code:

You can also get current location automatically from timedatectl:

# timedatectl
