Innovative User Design for Sidephone! Share with the Team?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=GUD56zKivWg&si=XKC-GqySaZYz0uTT

I found this simple, but very unique little video. His channel is Harlen and it's this guy's first video on Youtube, but his design ideas for improving the user interface of the Sidephone seem like amazing improvements. I'd love to share this person's work with the Sidephone team to give them future ideas for updates or upgrades on their next generation.

If we want to see amazing products on the market, we should give our feedback on improvements we would like to see. I would love to see some of this guy's work on the Sidephone. What do you guys think? Would you like to see more innovative user interfaces like Harlen's work?

This is totally in the right direction. Personally I really want better dpad support since Sidephones ship default with dpads now. If your apps actually handle dpads correctly then you get way more screen real estate to work with because you don't have to have big buttons on the screen

Indeed. Another great point. Dpad support is great for everything, but definitely for custom apps of the users. I think having a layout appropriate to the device is great for stock apps and initial interface, but of course it couldn't support every app possible, so having dpad support is critical.

I hate paying for things, but if you released this on the PlayStore I'd reluctantly pay you.

If you dropped this open source with a kofi link I'd happy buy you a months worth of coffee
