Hey everyone, I'm going insane due to a lack of creative project. I've written an app already but I haven't gotten around to publishing it yet. I'd like to know what kind of apps you'd like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I'd love to hear your ideas nevertheless.

Here's a very niche problem: On Android, I use an alarm clock that you can only turn off by scanning a QR code. Such an app doesn't exist on mobile linux.

that is indeed niche.... what time do you need to be up to resort to this, and what time do you go to sleep?

@tetris11 I usually go to bed at 11-12 and get up around 8-9. It's just that my subconscious mind has learnt how to turn off the alarm before I even know I'm awake.

I used to oversleep without ever remembering that I turned off the alarm.

Oh wow. Are you in your early 20s? I think it's something you might just grow out of if that helps.

I fixed this issue, but being an arsehole for a month.

Get a loud stereo with an alarm clock function; have it go off 1 minute after your alarm, and be really really loud.

Trust me, shocking yourself awake with a huge noise just after the little beep-beep works a treat. After a week or two, you will bolt out of bed to catch the stereo before it wakes everybody else up and pisses them off.

@absGeekNZ This sounds like it would absolutely work from a psychological perspective, but my wife would probably kill me.

It worked for me.

I haven't needed it for around 20 years.... But it is really simple
