Description lpcornel 2023-12-28 21:43:30 UTC
Some of you may already be aware of a terminal app called kdialog, which sends messages as pop-ups directly to the desktop. It would be much better to integrate that instead of just SMS with kdeconnect for desktop-to-desktop messaging.
Comment 1 Simon Redman 2023-12-29 00:04:55 UTC
There is not enough information here for me to make any actions. I don't see a connection between kdialog and messaging, except that kdialog is a rudimentary way to display text, and messages are text. Please detail the design you are suggesting.
Comment 2 lpcornel 2023-12-29 14:48:29 UTC
The idea is a rudimentary way have desktop-to-desktop messages without using phones. The design concept is to pop up the kdeconnect tray icon and type in a message to another kdeconnect desktop user. The message then pops up from the recipient's tray in the way that kdialog displays the text. It is not meant to be a conversation thread.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Since KDE Connect is mostly about connecting _your own_ devices, I don't think this feature makes sense as part of KDE Connect, since normally you would not need a tool to send messages to yourself.
