Topic: Impressions and thoughts
So I've had my Chumby for a few days now and there are a few things I like and a few I don't.
Just a quick checklist and see if anyone else has had these thoughts.
Many of the informational widgets (news, etc...) dont' allow you to interact at all. I've found the Day in History to be the best because it has a scroll button on the side of the text. While this is certainly a decision for those making the widgets it seems like a decent idea.
As an addition to that I would like to see a checkbox or something in the control panel that allows the channel to stay on the current widget if you are interacting with it. A couple times I've been playing with the netflix or weather widget and it changed while I was reading it.
I like the alarms with the beta control panel. I used two alarms to set the day/night mode of my chumby by setting alarms that didn't make any noise and just put the chumby into night mode and day mode in the morning. This seems to work pretty well.
Thanks
