Module/Idea Suggestion List.

Perceived idea awesomeness

Wow, you don't have this yet???

Web Browser Module, Background Module, Media Module/s, Security/Lock Module.

Would be super cool.

Temperature Module, Volume Control Module. VNC Module, Custom Text/Matrix Module.

I'm not sure a lot of people would use it, but I'd love to have it.

Self Destruct/Panic button/Red Alert Module.

Kind of a gadget, honestly, but why not?

Rainbow/Party mode Module.

Perceived idea difficulty

• [0] Quit your job first.
• [3] Would need some work, but nothing impossible.
• [7] Shouldn't be too hard to make.
• [1] Like, I could do it.

Simple/-ish ideas:

• Web Browser Module. (Requires some work, but still might be possible.)
• Background Module. (changes background to image, slideshow, or video/animation.)
• Media Module/s. (Show image/s, video, slideshows, music/audio, etc.)
• Volume Control Module. (Not feasable)
• Rainbow/Party mode. (Changes colors of theme over time. Not super useful, just really fun!)
• Security/Lock Module. (Lock Screen, alarm for wrong password, eDEX-UI only, non-system lock.)
• "noVNC" module for connecting to another device. (a phone or another computer.) *(novnc is based on javascript and html, porting should be pretty simple.)
• Text Module. (Print lines from a text file, Monitor a log file, or be set to rain code like in the matrix, should be pretty easy to make as the startup sequence already prints scrolling text.)

---

Complex ideas/Stretch Goals:

• LCARS Theme/Module. (Not likely to be super useful, but it'd be really neat, I'll likely attempt this in the future.)

---

In Progress/Planned Modules:

• Space/Memory Module.
• External Module Support.
• Temperature Module.
• Disk Activity Module.

---

Completed Modules:

• placeholder

(UPDATE!)
Someone created a video player for Electron using Node.js, I'm sure it can be useful for helping to create a media module in edex-ui! It's called Playback

This app could become a pretty practical UI replacement, with some of these suggested modules.
I would definitely love to run this as the primary GUI on a minimal Arch Linux install! (probably running in i3 or another simple/lightweight window manager.)
I'm working on learning Javascript. I might be able to make one or a few of these modules sometime in the future. I will update this post with more ideas and possibly submit code as I continue to research and learn more about Electron + Javascript.

Here's a package that would be useful if anyone wanted to undertake that.

Looks like CBS claims to own the copyright on LCARS, so it would probably endanger the project to include it.

I wonder if we're breaking any TRON copyright... at least I never heard from Disney so far.
