Gestures to control the alarm

[yuriykulikov]

Hello @MartinX3,
I have experimented with this feature a while ago and decided to drop it for a very simple reason. The probability of switching off the alarm by accident is very high. I will keep the issue open, but I won't work on this anytime soon.

Closing this because given the current trend this won't be implemented anytime soon.

And no PR is allowed?
I use issues also as TODO-Lists

[yuriykulikov]

PRs are allowed, of course. I was cleaning issues up a bit because at the moment I don't have enough time fore the app and have to prioritize.

[MartinX3]

I understand you very well.
And I share your free time problems as well.
Thank you. :)

I have experimented with this feature a while ago and decided to drop it for a very simple reason. The probability of switching off the alarm by accident is very high.

I've used the clock app included in LineageOS for quite a while, which gives a choice between "snooze", "dismiss", and "do nothing" for each of the two actions "flip" and "shake". I only activated "shake" to cause "snooze".

I had to shake strongly to cause an effect, and I don't think I ever accidentally snoozed an alarm. Rather on the contrary: Because I got used to "shake for snoozing" and "swipe for dismissing" an alarm, it no longer happened that I swiped into the wrong direction (which easily happened if the phone was lying 180° off its usual alignment), accidentally dismissing instead of snoozing...
