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.
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.
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.
Huh, why didn't I think of that? Thanks
I want an app that existed, and was killed before it's time by Intuit. Level Money
You put in (and it learned over time) your expenses, and it gave you a single number which was how much you could spend per day. It adjusted as you went, so if you under/overspent it adjusted.
It wasn't perfect, but was the last time I had a firm handle on my finances.
Fuck you Intuit, burn in every hell imagine able for your myriad of sins including this minor one comparatively.
Have you tried Cashew? I've tried tons of apps and it's easily the best
No, but I just downloaded it! Thanks for the rec!
I work in IT and we get at least a dozen broken QuickBooks tickets a week. I fucking hate intuit and their products
Have you looked at your banks budgeting software? One of the key features mine has is it learns how transactions are categorized, so future ones will be categorized the same way even if the amount changes. While it’s far from perfect, it is a huge factor in making useful.
I used to try various money management tools but this made a huge convenience difference
This kinda locks you into one bank which is not ideal
I use CapitalOne, they have some things but nothing exactly right.
I have also tried every budgeting software under the sun, and Level was the only one that worked for me sadly. I've thought about using vibe coding (not a mobile dev) to makey own android app to do something similar but also super lazy lol.
Ever tried the old over engineered Excel doc trick?
Sucks because you have to do manual data entry but you'll get whatever level of granular control your heart desires.
I'm sure there's ways to design something similar to the auto leveling budget effect you liked, but it's beyond my skills.
Media server software that lets me program my own television station.
5:00 PM - Play the next file from folder X.
6:00 PM - Play the next file from folder Y.
7:00 PM - Play the next file from folder Z.
8:00 PM - Play random movie.
That is like a 10 line bash script? Well maybe a little more but not much. Start here: https://linux.die.net/man/1/at
Setting up something like a cron job is trivial, getting it to stream files from a particular folder, on a channel I can access on demand, is the trick.
Ideally I want to be able to change the input on my television, any time I want, to my personal streaming channel which is constantly running the schedule I've defined.
Ersatz is this brilliant self hosted IPTV server that can do this. Any client (even a browser or your smart tv) can run it. Setting up the channels are a bit clunky but it’s well documented

An app for Android (Google TV) that lets you change the volume on a per-application basis. Like a mixer. I want to be able to set Disney+ to 200%, Netflix to 130% and Youtube to 80%.
I have long wanted a weather forecast along route in navigation apps for long trips. Ideally you could add in stops and estimate how long you would need to wait for storms to pass over.
Just coming back from a trip and adding to this, I wish Organic Maps / CoMaps had a function to automatically add rest stops and fuel stops.
For example, for a 7 hour road trip it would prompt:
- Frequency of rest stops:
120 minutes - Time spent at rest stop:
20 minutes - Approx remaining range:
150km - Approx car range overall:
500km
Obviously I've just been pulling into service stations and rest stops on my own accord, but I like having small goals and not having the navigation lose it's shit at me because I decided to pull into a small town halfway through. Would just make planning a day of driving much easier.
A program that allows me to search through a large drive and see if there are any duplicates of congruent files on them, even if those files have different names but are otherwise identical, i.e. copies elsewhere on the drive.
If you search for "find duplicate files " there seem to be some options...
An app that can fix audio in movies to make dialog easier to hear and understand.
Music software that shuffles entire albums and plays them end to end before switching to another random album.
Quodlibet has a Random Album Playback plugin
I'm looking for an app (on Android) that not only keeps track of birthdays, but also lets you add an extra date if that person has passed away. So it will display someone's age correctly instead of just counting on. And give reminders of both their birth- and their dying day. If it exists, please let me know...
I really want an app that locally indexes my locally stored photos and lets me search them locally, based on places, things or people seen in the photo.
Immich lets you do this
https://immich.app/docs/features/searching/
For example here's me searching for "forest". But it also supports looking for people (even multiple people in the same image), places, dates, or combinations of all of them. It'll also look for text in images. The link has more examples
All hosted and processed on my local computer, and connected to the mobile app
I think there is a fine line between “installing an app” and “spinning up a docker image and keeping it maintained”.
I’m in the camp that Docker images are what .exe’s used to be, but they’re not easily accessible still. So Immich doesn’t count I fear.
Digimon.
I have to carry my phone with me everywhere I go, I want a little guy that is personal and unique to me, it gets points for stuff I do, and them I can battle with other people who have their own little guys.
Pokémon go doesn't cut it for me, the battle isn't Pokemon. The games are great but it's me playing the guy not me being the guy.
I have the whole thing on paper but learning the programming to make it is discouraging and I'm already in college and writing full time
I would be ecstatic if someone ported AutoHotkey to Linux. AutoKey doesn't come close to cutting it for me.
Navigation app the prioritizes things important to me. I'll got an extra distance if I turn less or I right turn only or I have no speed bumps.
The only thing I've ever really wanted that didn't used to exist was an app that could identify things visually. So you find a bug or a bird or an object and snap a photo, and it tells you what it is instead of having to ask real people.
This is now possible and is getting better all the time. But I still haven't seen an all invlusive app for everything? Like there's one specifically for bugs. Another specifically for birds. Saw one that specifically was for identifying your dog's breed. Haven't seen one that is universal and can identify everything in an image at once.
Ideally, this would just be a feature of things like Google Lens. Like I could just open the camera, set it to ID mode, and just point it at the thing I am looking at and have it tell me what it is and not just find images similar to it.
I wish there'd be a proper family tree generator, I've been searching for one for so long. All the things existing now seem to be old and made to create actual existing family trees with lots of limitations, but I'd really need a tool to use for world building and that kind of stuff. To allow you create profiles with a lot of data for the characters in the tree, so you could view the info in some easy way, maybe by clicking to open an info window, or something like that. To be able to easily link them to each other with other things than just family relations (like friends, lovers, enemies...). Being able to properly put a picture on the profiles so it would show there in the tree, not just a name. Just being able to properly view the whole family tree at once by zooming in and out would be so nice, and to link it with other family trees etc....
There are games that have some family tree functions, but I don't need nor want a gaming experience. I want to do these things freely, not with having to play some shit to be able to unlock something, or to have family trees generated around just played characters. I've tried using mind map generating stuff as well, but they have limited features, and it's difficult to just create branches with them since everything is supposed to link back to one single thing.
If anyone knows about something like this existing somewhere, please do tell me!
MS Vizio can do what you're talking about. It's a flow chart designer on crack. I'd bet there's quite a few modules designed for family tree building you can get for it.
Instead of a family tree planner, maybe start looking at flow chart builders? Or workflow planners or project management schedulers. They all can do something like what you're talking about, even if they're not directly designed for purpose of family tree diagrams.
I really want an all-in-one android app that just let me connect 2 portable ssds (via a usb hub) and then make a list of hashes for the folder structure and file names along with the hashes, all on a single sor of "index" file and I can run a "verify" function like every so often (like maybe once a week?) to check if there are any decay, also copy everything to the 2nd drive, and then run the verify to check if its done correctly, and correct any file corruptions.
Like its a very ghetto way to doing a NAS on a budget, but its just a $50 spare android phone connected to a usb hub with the power connected, and a bunch of drives attached.
I can run hash checks manually with some F-Droid apps, and keep the hashes on a file, but there us no way to automate this.
