[Feature Request] Meetings / Events from calendar on lockscreen

CiberSheep

@kristatos If you have no reminders for them, you have them listed in the corresppondent indicator (You can set a reminder with options, it doesn't need to be in time it can fire on the settings you tell, you can check under Reminder). You can even tap on a date and you'll see next appointments from that date

kristatos

That's right ...
But I have to look at the indicator. When I forget to look at it, then I could be, that I'll miss an event
If the event would be displayed at the lockscreen you would be reminded automatically because everytime you're using your phone you look at the lockscreen first.

CiberSheep

@kristatos That's why they are accessible from everywhere to be easy to check. And you have the rest of information related to time in the same place

CiberSheep

@CiberSheep * or set a reminder if you want to be notified (of course)

Moem

@CiberSheep Even if something is easy to check, one would still need to actively check it.
They're easy to pull. But Kristatos suggests having them pushed. That's the difference.

I think it's a valid request.

CiberSheep

@Moem I think we should make bubble notification not disappear as an option. That wouldn't solve Kristatos issue (he doesn't add reminders to the appointments)

I think it is a valid request. As valid request as having Connection name on the locking screen, because if it changes and connects to another wifi, it's useful to see it in the lock screen and also message notifications, and the forecast because is something we always need to check...
They are all valid requests, then you have a problem again, you need to actively check if you have an appointment between all the other notifications but now mixed all together. How could we get apart the «notifying notifications» from the «passive notifications»?

That's why I think if you need to get notified but don't want to check the according indicator, you should set a reminder. That will notify you when you tell it.

I agree with @CiberSheep.
@kristatos has a valid point of view, but they can work around it really easily : set a reminder on birthdays. Or check the dropdown menu.

In order to move forward, I'd say a good way to improve the user experience would be to add a customization feature to the circle indicator (sorry I don't remember it's proper name).
IDK how it actually works, but I guess we can see the lockscreen as a server displaying simple information. Each app posting to it is somhow registered.

To improve it, I suggest to add a configuration app allowing the user to check the data allowed to be displayed. We can do this the same way apps can access the GPS. We can even add apparmor for this feature.
This way if I want to have ICE information it can stay forever because it's the only one allowed.

But it's getting a bit off topic...
A new feature in the Calendar could send how many meetings per day and the next one in the text area.

What do you think ?

kristatos

@AppLee The birthdays were only examples for this feature. But I agree with you, the infos shown in the "circle" of the lockscreen should be configurable, like in UTTT where you can set "indicators->Date & Time->show events"

I think that's a great idea.

@AppLee
Too bad only one upvoting is allowed

1 for personalization of the Lomiri Circle

In addition: The ability to have specific data be fixed when phone is from sleep mode

I dont think thats the best way to do things, to my understanding the circle will only be viewable in future, if you dont have any notifications on your welcome screen, i think maybe adding calender events that are happening today in the circle would be fine, but the original idea from canonical was to have events show up in a notification bubble on the welcome screen.
