The main screen is empty, could put something useful there #19

I did note that the main screen is empty, and it could list the defined classes with a drag-drop reorder UI. You could initialise the order with the unique IDs by default, but otherwise introduce a new order field.

But yes, of course, it's complex.

On the other hand, the abstraction with classes, and the amount of configurability you make available already positions your app in the "much more complex" class than the simple app Tacere, which unfortunately seems discontinued. Compare https://github.com/ciasaboark/Tacere/issues/52

My plan is to put some or all immediate event request buttons on the main screen. I want quick access to these, so that when I walk into the library I can mute my phone with the minimum number of screen touches and have it unmute when I walk out of the library.

Thanks, that sounds good. And again: happy to be a beta tester!

Are you able to build from the sources, or are you waiting for me to make a release?

madduck commented 5 years ago

I am travelling and I do not have a build chain set up on my laptop, so yes, I'd need apks

I will be travelling too on Thursday, and I want to check if floating time events work properly with a real time zone change on my phone, rather than a faked one on the emulator. I have a build system on my laptop, so if time zone change does work properly, I'll make a release in a few days.

Yes, please!

it seems to me that putting the contents of the 3-dot menu onto the main screen makes sense, plus with [trigger now] [end now] & [edit] buttons to the right of or under each class & an [event running] flag to the left, perhaps sorted so running events are at the top of the list?
