The use case for me is a big one; vacations. Leave my smartphone in the cabin, bring this to the beach. It's too easy to get sucked in to Twitter or Instagram after checking a text message.
The problem for me is a big one; my phone is my camera. Hard to leave that behind.
I had some ideas, verging on feature creep:
1. Basic, pager-like texting using codes.
2. Camera. Take pictures now, view later.
@bradenhamm Thanks! Sorry I didn't realize this got hunted somehow, I thought landing pages couldn't, but thank you! It's crazy the two ideas you have are exactly what I'm interesting in exploring. I imagined the camera even being its own tool, like the best point and shoot ever that maybe only has an optical viewfinder. The pager-like codes we see being used to do lots of interesting "IFTTT" like things, sort of making the phone like a remote control of simple commands. Thanks for the feedback, so good to hear. For now I guess I also have been shooting mostly film photos so I imaged this being perfect for photographers because they can use their real camera and this. I like the idea of many tools that do one thing so well. Cheers!
@timsavolainen simple call forwarding. Important calls will forward to your Light Phone, but distractions and notifications wait for you on your smart phone at home.
