Hi there I was thinking only about making sure the app cover doesn't go out of top 9, pinning to the fixed place.. well, could happen if Sailfish OS decides to explore exactly the pinning concept.
I was thinking about notifications, but I don't think they will suite the case: 1. There is no way to mark your event as low priority, is there? I am so much annoyed by BB10 using same notification as SMS for all the Foursquare checkins my friends do. You could make exactly these silenced, but that's several settings.. in every profile, so it never happens. Peeking into which cool cats were downloaded lately is fine if you can just peeking into it during your regular task switching. 2. There are no event actions as cover actions, are there? Cover is super cool for the funny cats case, because of the action: Like/Next or Share/Next, etc fits very well into lazy funny cats entertainment 3. And then Cover is just bigger, right? Funny cat preview on a quarter or 1/9th of screen is okay. Preview in the event feed... not really (I haven't seen Jolla event feed myself, so speculating) Cheers, Artem.
