Remind me to turn off sleep mode
I wake up and start using my phone in the morning. My Microsoft Band should give me an alert and remind me:
You’re awake! You have forgotten to turn off sleep mode. Would you like to turn it off now?”
Enlarge images on click
When I touch an image I want it to enlarge… ideally to full screen. Like the common Lightbox approach in websites.
Figure: Clicking should enlarge that image
Allow me to search for any word in the title
When doing a search, I need to type the exact first few letters to make results appear. It should work for any word/letter present in the title.
Figure: searching for template won’t give me any result
Figure: Only found it after typing the entire “Do you…” from beginning
Please improve this search engine to make any typed word to give search results.
Help me to easily find out who created a library/list
Figure: Who made this?
Currently, to see who is the author of a library/list like the above, we have two options:
- Use SharePoint Manager
- Use PowerShell
Both of them are not straightforward, and you have to log on to the server to use either of them.
It costs a few mins and many clicks (not countable) to find out…
The info could be simply exposed to the “list Information” page (can be collapsed by default if there are too much info):
Figure: Add “author” info here
In SharePoint 2016 Preview and Office 365, this has not been improved.
Show me how many deployments per week
I would love to be able to see a graph showing me the number of deployments per week for the last few months.
Figure: I’d love to quickly see the number of deployments per week (a graph would be ideal)
Add “remove” and “update” buttons in the friendly URL management page
I want to be able to remove or change the suggested friendly URL generated by SharePoint.
Figure: Give me buttons to edit the suggested URL
Automatically avoid having symbols in the friendly URL
When I create a new SharePoint page, I want the generated URL to automatically ignore symbols like apostrophes, commas etc.
A page named:
Where do you want to go today?
…currently looks like:
www.yoursite.com/Where%20Do%20You%20Want%20to%20Go%20Today
…but should become:
www.yoursite.com/where-do-you-want-to-go-today
Have an instant tow bar
BMW = not in USA
Mercedes = not in USA
I want a button which deploys an electrically folding towbar so I never need to install a fixed one.
E.g. The Mercedes GLC
It would be great if Tesla considered adding this feature to its cars.
Introduce advanced front-lighting technologies to make driving at night safer
BMW = yes (7 series only)
Mercedes = yes (S class only)
Ford is developing a couple of advanced front-lighting technologies to prevent collision and keep drivers safe at night:
- The first one called “camera-based advanced front lighting system” interprets traffic signs and use GPS info to widen the headlights’ reach at roundabouts
- The second technology called “Spot Lighting” uses an infrared camera attached to the vehicle’s grille to detect people and large animals on the road through their body heat
Watch Ford’s video to see how it works
Tesla should consider adding these to their cars.
Ideally, the driver needs see yellow and red squares flashing up on the heads-up display.
Note: With a software update Tesla could do this if it went in the console
