Badge App Requests

Senyaa: /* Note taking app */

== Please edit this page ==

'''Please edit this page to report which app you are dreaming of. Maybe some genious developer without ideas can pick this up.
'''
=== atmosphere and pressure stats/a "tricorder"===
* [10 people want this]
''' An app that shows the stats of the BME690 -> atmosphere, pressure, temperature, air quality, as well of the BMI270 -> orientation/gyro,
possibly also attached external sensors,
possibly also able to log to a text file on the SD card.

Remark from someone else: the badge has no proper CO2 sensor, I'd appreciate it if the app in question would not include eCO2/CO2eq, as [https://queer.party/@ao/111779978098588711 it's a completely made up number that differs significantly from the real number, in a non-correlating way]. It's very misleading, not showing it is better than showing a completely fake number.

=== LED Matrix add-on app ===
* [1 people want this]
''' Like the other add-ons that were for sale, we need apps to use them. So a scrolling or changing text on the led matrix add-on would be great! '''

=== MP4/Media player ===
* [4 people want this]
''' Pretty much as the title states. A media player app that will let me choose an mp4 file to play from a list of existing files. Some very rudimentary controls like play, pause, rewind, forward. Watching Shrek in style.'''

=== Badge stats ===
* [2 people want this]
'''I would love an app that shows how many badges have come online, same as what is visible on the [https://stats.why2025.org/d/568320c2-75ff-4278-8d89-42b9e18fa04b/why20253a-badgehub?orgId=1&from=now-6h&to=now&timezone=browser badge grafana dashboard]'''

=== Subreddit or something alike ===
* [1 people wants this]
'''Maybe somebody can start a subreddit (or something alike) so we can ask questions about the badge and exchange ideas?
'''

=== Battery check app ===
* [3 people wants this]
''' When you have a case it is hard to check how full the badge is. It would be nice to have a digital indicator of this.

'''

=== LoRA chat app / run Meshtastic LoRa stuff (merged) ===
* [50 people want this] (merged 34 + 17)
'''Would love to see Meshtastic (https://meshtastic.org) running on the badge to chat with people around me. As App or separated firmware.

Please contact the people from:
[[Project:Meshtastic on the WHY2025 badge]]
https://github.com/n0p/mesthastic-fw-why-badge/tree/why2025-badge
https://github.com/n0p/mesthastic-fw-why-badge/blob/why2025-badge/variants/why_badge/variant.h
'''

=== SSH Client ===
* [30 people want this]
''' A SSH client that can be used for the badge, to connect to SSH servers. Making the badge a powerhouse of a remote-in device. Support for ed25519 keys would be much appreciated. '''

I started to work on this as a litte agentic coding experiment. You can see the current state here: https://github.com/kaistierl/why2025-badge-firmware/tree/main/sdk_apps/sshterm - there is a basic terminal emulation already, but SSH and networking are not yet implemented. ~[[User:Cyb3rk4t|cyb3rk4t]]

=== Web browser ===
* [5 people want this]
''' A basic web browser that can render (basic) HTML'''

=== WHY 2025 Design App ===
* [3 people want this]
'''A client for the awesome WHY2025 design/logo/nametag generator, see https://design.why2025.org/'''

=== WHY 2025 MQTT Client ===
* [5 people want this]
'''Something where you can fill in an MQTT topic and see the data from https://mqtt.why2025.org/'''

=== Home Assistant support ===
* [14 people want this]
'''It would be nice to use the badge in combination with Home Assistant.
Luxim is already planning to work on this, will update once a working prototype can be made public. '''

=== PICO-8 Fantasy Console ===
* [3 people want this]
'''Run PICO-8 cartridges (https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php). Not quite sure if this is even possible or not, but it might be a cool idea :P'''

=== Retro-Go ===
* [8 people want this]
'''
Run e.g. Gameboy Color games:
https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go
'''
Thanks to the powerful ESP32-P4 even GENESIS, SNES and GBA could work: https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/issues/211

=== App Manager ===
* [14 people wants this]
'''Download and update Apps via WiFi from [https://badge.why2025.org/ BadgeHub] directly to SD card or delete them from the storage so we don't have to disassemble half of the badge or rebuild the firmware every time we want to get new apps.'''

=== Power Off App ===
* [1 people wants this]
'''Some casings make the on/off button hard to reach without a pen. It would be nice to have a shutdown command/app in the OS.'''

=== External Keyboard/Macro pad/Jiggler ===
* [1 people wants this]
'''If Badge is able to present as a USB HID device, app to allow it to be used to send keyboard codes to a connected computer, send definable macros using the action buttons, a mode to send occasional scroll locks or other keystrokes to keep a host computer awake, perhaps even send mouse inputs somehow, so badge can be used as a handy input device'''

=== Fileserver via CopyParty ===
* [2 people wants this]
'''It would be great to execute the CopyParty FOSS project to execute a local fileserver so that the badge could host and serve files over CIFS / SSH / HTTP. According to the project description, it's a single python file with no deps, but I am not sure if it will run over the micropython environment. Extended information available over [https://github.com/9001/copyparty CopyParty Github repo]

=== FlipperZero // Bruce (successor of CapibaraZero) ===
* [4 people wants this]
'''It would be wonderful if I could use the badge in a manner similar to a FlipperZero or Bruce (successor of CapibaraZero), with all the tools that are supported by this hardware.'''

The most RF features FlipperZero and other tools got famous for are based on the CC1101 chip. Such a chip would have to be connected externally to the badge. Second most things the FlipperZero got famous for is the NFC functionality that is also not part of the badge. It would be probably a better idea to get a FlipperZero clone like the T-Embed CC1101 that have both parts already build in.

=== Serial interface ===
* [1 people wants this]
'''It would be nice to be able to use the gpio pins on the top to connect to a Serial Interface via UART for hardware hacking purposes'''

=== Note taking app ===
* [2 people wants this]
'''doesn't have to syncronise with anything (would be nice though) but have something to write down contacts or project ideas you have while wondering around whatever next camp will be'''

== Fulfilled requests ==
=== Name Tag app ===
* Fulfilled with: https://badge.why2025.org/page/project/why2025_namebadge

'''A simple app to set text you want shown on the badge, preferably it will remember the text. Bonus to flip the screen orientation and text formatting.'''

Status: Done.

=== WiFi Settings App ===
* [10 people want this]
'''Control your Wireless lan settings at home'''

Status: Done.
