Hello, does anyone here have experience with an API for feedback? How is it in practice? What are its limitations, etc.? Did anyone use it for a personalized use case or otherwise?

Can data from wearables (I'm thinking mostly about Polar Loop), such as sleep data and heart rate during rest times, show life events that significantly affect our physiology?

Short-term: parties, sleepless nights, alcohol consumption, travel, etc.

Mid/long-term: overworking, insufficient sleep, poor diet, etc.

Can we detect such spikes on the curve? For example, I would like to be able to see my recovery curve after a party or my disturbance curve during that party.

Thanks!

One feature is really important to me, and I think it would fit the Sidephone philosophy very well. It doesn't require any extra hardware or more buttons—just a simple, efficient way to interact with the phone.

The main reason I want to switch from my current smartphone is its size and all the unnecessary features. Most of what I actually need is calling people and managing my calendar.

Is there any way to get a voice assistant experience similar to Siri or Google Assistant, either built-in or through a third-party app?

Ideally, I'd like to press a hardware button and say things like:

- S"et a timer for 10 minutes"

- "Wake me up at 5 AM."

- "Remind me to eat at 12 PM."

- "Add a calendar event with Pierre tomorrow from 12 PM to 2 PM."

Basically, I'm looking for hands-free voice commands that can directly create timers, alarms, reminders, and calendar events.

Is this possible on the Sidephone today? If so, what setup or apps are you using?

Has this ever happened to you?

The UI (or maybe just the UX) isn't always very clear about which images are currently selected (Ctrl+A, multiple selection, etc.). A few times I've accidentally copied or pasted a history stack onto the wrong images.

I usually don't notice until export, when I realize that several photos have completely wrong edits applied to them.

Am I missing something, or is this a common mistake?

One thing I've often wished for is a timestamped history stack, or at least some kind of checkpoints, for example:

Portrait finished 18:42
Skin retouch 18:50
Color grading 19:00
Final export 19:15

That would make it much easier to recover after accidentally overwriting a history stack or to identify how far an image had been edited before a mistake.

Has anyone else run into this? How do you avoid it?

Darktable, DigiKam or Lightroom etc‥ are useful cataloging and editing tools, but I do not think of them as archive managers.

Underneath there are still real files to name, date, organize, check, backup and migrate eventually.

I've spent the last few years trying to keep that layer clean enough so my archive still makes sense without depending on any particular app.

The method I ended up with is pretty simple: establish a coherent creation date and normalize metadata -> rename files clearly -> check files readability -> then organize them into folders as needed.

Curious if/how other people here handle this distinction between the catalog app and the archive itself.
