I thought of two things the other day. Two useful finesses that could be added to services I frequently use. The first for Morning Brew, a daily newsletter with a quick and easy digest of what's going on in the world + a few bits of relevant entertainment or enlightenment, and the second for SL, the local commuter company of which I'm not always a huge fan.
But that could change.
Figure I might as well publish these ideas here too, and if said functionalities do get implemented I can take some credit. ;)
These are the ideas as I sent 'em. General pleasantries/salutations excluded.
Idea #1 - Local sendout times, Morning Brew
This may not be a most important or relevant idea, but I was thinking it'd be pretty cool if subscribers of said newsletter(s) had the option (within a suitable margin of publication) to adjust at what time they receive these letters, so as to start each day with a Morning Brew when it actually is morning for them, in whatever their individual timezone may be.
For me for example the send outs are usually timed at mid-day instead of morning.
Just a thought; hope you consider!
Idea #2 - Route monitoring, SL
I was thinking the other day that it would be useful if there was a function to monitor routes via your app or website, and receive notice via e-mail for example if something changes. If say timetables are adjusted, or maintenance work begins on a section of the route you frequent. It'd be an easy way to inform those to whom this information is relevant.
Practically, if you plan a trip via the website or app, and have already chosen your destination, matter of transport etc, you could at this stage then be presented with a 'monitor this route' button or similar that offers this functionality.
Hope you can pass this on; implement it if it seems relevant; useful!
That's all.
