Thanks for bringing this up! I have some suggestions regarding some of that! :)
RE: Notifications Something that has been on my mind for sometime now which I find very useful in competitive approaches in other OSes; is the largely-customizable notifications. Apps can easily opt out of the default notification style and use other genres: e.g. double (and multiple) action buttons (in case of social apps where user could perform more than one action toward an event that is announced through a notification), showing more than just text in the notification's body (like in Wallpaper apps when they would show the user two or 3 newly-added wallpapers), splitting notifications horizontally (specifically in Twitter app where sometimes you get two or 3 tweets that "you might have missed" while you're being away). Expanding notifications is also a neat feature: A notification with a long text will surely get its end truncated, but a little tap and swipe down on the notification will expand it to show the full text/content. RE: Task manager A "Close All" button would be very appreciated IMO, Orange did implement that in the Klif device with FFOS 2.0. One last thing, not sure if this would really belong to app chrome or not but it seems to me like something the system would/should handle: App badges, getting a counter on how many notifications (emails, SMSes, calls) on an app icon is also IMO a nice feature to have, I know "there's an addon for that!" but wouldn't be awesome to have such a thing out of the box? Especially as we aim to more customizations and flexibility in FFOS. Thanks!

If you have pet peeves, long standing issues, future thoughts - lets get them captured. I know we have many bugs already in bugzilla (and we'll try to winnow them down) but some are old enough its hard to know if they are still relevant. Also we have ideas being generated by the Alopex initiative. But as developers writing apps on this platform - and dogfooders - what do you think needs improving? Potential topics: * Lock screen * Utility tray, * Toasters and notifications * Edge swipe * Task Manager * App transitions * Window management * Status bar * Dialogs * App chrome Does the way the apps/content interact with the system make sense and meet all your present needs? thanks, /Sam _______________________________________________ dev-fxos mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos
