Videos on Bangle.js apps

[gfwilliams]

Hi! I spotted a comment on the Bangle.js Getting Started Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoNray1iuBM) about whether I could do more videos on useful apps - I guess introducing them and showing how to use/configure them.

Doing a minute or two for each video is something that'd probably be pretty straightforward for me any might be helpful/fun for others.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or are there existing YouTube videos that you/others have made that I should add to a playlist?

Maybe make compilation vidoes of similar apps. This would demonstrate the modularity and creativity Bangle.js has. So the two or three most notable/interesting/popular apps on a common theme per video.

Brainstorming some ideas:

• clocks
  • antonclk, slopeclk, pebble++, LCARS clock etc.
  • showcase clock_infos, background library in action
• launchers
  • e.g. standard one, dtlaunch and iconlaunch
• extra interfaces on clocks
  • quicklaunch and pattern launcher
• customisations of the menu system
  • swipemenu, kineticscroll, promenu
• one video on some of the different keyboards
  • e.g. touch keyboard, multitap keyboard, dragboard, swipe keyboard, EdgeWrite keyboard.
• one video dedicated to messagegui app
  • show the interactions with the phone, e.g. positive and negative response, replying from the watch, with keyboard as well as canned responses.
  • show off navigation notifications
• maybe one showing recoder, sleeplog, runplus, bthrm
  • possibly how they interact with Gadgetbridge (but I guess there are still some kinks left before you'd want to film the Gadgetbridge side)
• maybe one video on small utilities
  • e.g. torch, calculator etc
• one on some interesting widgets.
• if there were some more default configs beside the standard one and mine that could have made a video as well.
  • but not worth it now probably.

Thanks! Sounds like a good idea comparing some of the different options for clocks/launchers/etc.

• openstmap
• alarm: Advanced Repeat settings (e.g. Custom days), set a message with one of the keyboards
• For calculator I prefer scicalc, but both will do
• An app that uses require("graph").drawLine() (eg. gpsrec?)
• A game like tetris, sokoban
• Maybe calendar?

Thanks! Sounds good! On the game front, do you have any favourites apart from tetris and sokoban?

I've been liking 15 puzzle, sudoku, AccelaMaze

This selection should be fine
