Always-on additional information #5

alin23 commented 5 years ago

Dashcoop is exactly what I was looking for in a weather screensaver. Thank you so much for doing this!

Too bad channel discovery on Roku is so lame, you could really make some money with this if you get it up enough on the Screensaver channel list. Maybe a more explicit name would help too.

About the issue, I like that you included humidity, precipitation, wind and other info. Do you think you could add an option to keep all that info displayed at all times instead of cycling through them? Maybe in a single row under the current temperature and condition.

I love the fade in/out effect, but when hurrying up to go somewhere, I noticed that I'd like to have that info at a glance before getting out of the house.

@alin23 Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I wish there was a better way to market your app on Roku.

I will definitely take a look. I get picky when it comes to the look and feel of the app. I may not use personally but I can probably add the config to support that on one line. I can take a look.

Thanks for considering it! Yes, I have the same feeling about UI requests from users. I think a setting disabled by default would be good for this. What do you think?

reidcooper commented 5 years ago

Two of my concerns are:

  1. What happens if I add more properties to display, lets say there is a total of 15, how does that look on the screen?
  2. What happens if the user's TV is not wide enough?
alin23 commented 5 years ago

I thought about your second concern, but I figured that most of the TVs are landscape now so they should have enough width for 5 properties.

About your first concern, if the new properties will be toggleable like they are now, then maybe the users won't choose to enable more than 5. Or you could enforce that limit of 5 in code. I don't think more than 5 properties are useful anyway as you would have to wait a lot to see that one property that you need to see.

Do you have any other properties in mind that you would like to add in the near future?

reidcooper commented 5 years ago

If users cared for more options, these could be added, but I won't use them: dew point, pressure, cloud cover, visibility, and ozone.

I will see how much work it will take to support that functionality.
