operating system design
- Some initial thoughts of desiderata:
- better networking/messaging control
- restrict internet to most apps
- I want to be able to have something that's like "airplane mode except I can talk to exactly this one person" or "airplane mode except back up my photos" or "airplane mode except maps"
- for messaging, one ad hoc solution many people have is using certain platforms for higher priority contacts or conversations, with different notification settings for each
- this is okay, but maybe we can do even better, with multiple conversations allowed between the same participants, and each participant can set the priority/context of the message for them
- and as the initial sender, you could maybe set a default priority/context for the recipient, which they can change if they disagree (and restrict your ability to set high-pri status if you abuse it)
