“Mini-App/Plugin” Implementation

[liamcharger]

Imagine a collection of "mini-apps", or plugins, that users can install on InfiniLink. These apps would allow them to perform various functions on the phone instead of the watch. For instance, with a task manager plugin, users could create task lists, and then InfiniLink could send a notification to the watch, notifying them when a task's due date is approaching.

Or maybe, using InfiniTime’s Motion Service, a sleep-tracker could be implemented.

Any thoughts or ideas?

I think this is a really cool idea and I would love to help! Unfortunately, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think the app store guidelines would allow us to let uses run and download their own code within the app. Though we could try integrating a collection of "mini-apps" directly into InfiniLink? With that, we could let users toggle the ones they want to have active.

Exactly, my original plan was to give users several ready-made apps and let them pick the ones they want to use.

@JenJell I'll create a new branch called 'plugins' that we can use for implementation, although I'm not going to be doing much work on it yet, because right now I'm looking at starting to get everything smoothed down as much as possible so that I can release a new version of the app soon.

Okay, sounds like a good idea to me.
