Regional regulation change notification #428

Open q20 opened 3 years ago

q20 commented 3 years ago

Feature description

I would like the app to display current information about corona regulations for my area. A notification when zones or rules change would also improve the utility of the app. It should be possible, for example, to tick a bunch of states one wishes to have current info on and have easy access to what is and isn't allowed.

There is so damn much this app could be doing, instead is just sits there inertly, not providing relevant info. I could go on for hours about other features it should have enabled months ago, but I'll limit myself now to the one mentioned in the topic.

Anyway, location-specific info would be great. Hey, how about opting-in to imprecise location awareness? Cross into an outdoor area where, at that time of day, one has to wear a mask? Missed the sign? Was there even a sign? Probably not! No worries... PING! Phone alert! "You have just entered a mask-required zone. Please put your mask on if you haven't already done so".

Problem and motivation

Regulation changes are applied regionally like a shotgun to a dartboard. Keeping abreast of what's up where is tricky.

Is this something you're interested in working on

See #151

Ah, I see this was suggested in August 2020 (I add the 2020 because, some time later this year, someone might stumble upon these suggestions and mistakenly think it was only suggest a month or two ago). Well, it's certainly dead then. Look like this platform has entered development hell. I have now, thank to your issue tracker, discovered the darfichdas app which appears to do what the Corona Warn app should: Warn with relevant Corona info. : (

jucktnich commented 3 years ago

@q20 You can use the Nina-app, it's the official app.

jucktnich commented 3 years ago

The problem is, that the cwa can't access to location data, so you would have to enter your zip code, for wich the Nina app is the better place. If this feature would be allowed by apple and google isn't clear at all, there are strong restrictions.

q20 commented 3 years ago

@jucktnich Where does one find info on the Nina Warn app in the Corona Warn App. Or does one first need a Github Warn app? :D

q20 commented 3 years ago

But you're saying you could make it possible to enter your zip? What's stopping you, then?

jucktnich commented 3 years ago

This would make sense. Maybe rename the issue to point out this topic.

jucktnich commented 3 years ago

@q20 You don't know if this version would ever make it to the stores, since there are strong regulations.

jucktnich commented 3 years ago

But for this question you have to ask the developers.

@q20 Thanks for the proposal.
