Short is everything you need to know in 30 seconds. It's a few paragraphs summarizing the current situation - weather, calendar, reminders, news stories, twitter trending and more. Save time navigating 10 different apps in the morning!
Hey everyone! I built Short because I was sick of checking 10 different apps when I woke up and wanted a quick way to see what's going on today.
It's super simple: a few paragraphs describing your current situation:
* The current weather and what you might need to wear
* When the sun will rise or set
* Your remaining calendar and reminders for the day
* The top news stories right now, plus what's trending on Twitter in your area
* The weather for the rest of the week
* A 'quote of the day'.
If you don't need to check anything else, this app has done its job. :)
This is the very first time I've shown this to the world, so some constructive feedback would be great!
Love the idea of this! My suggestions would be to support ℃ for the weather temperature (seeing ℉ in the UK isn't so helpful 😅), and maybe to support auto light/dark mode based on the system theme.
It'd be neat to have an option to open links through Safari instead of the in-app browser, and I think that might also let the native Twitter app intercept and open links when they're tapped.
Could be worth caching the last generated summary, and showing a loading indicator above it, instead of replacing the entire screen with a loading indicator whenever you switch apps then come back to the app
@iamsebj Thanks! All good suggestions. I think the next step is to add more customization in general. Maybe you don't care about news but you DO care about reminders, for example.
