App idea for Linux: An app where I set a regular amount that I want to donate each week/month, and then it locally and privately logs how much time I spend using the different apps on my machine and distributes the money accordingly.
With different options to blacklist some apps, weigh some apps more than others, always give X amount to some apps regardless of use, also give to things that won't be tracked (like the DE), etc.
@forteller nice idea. Data driven donations! I am pretty sure @EndlessOS have some of this in that they have a tool which can gather metrics about what applications you use. They talked about it at a Linux Application Summit a few years back. Maybe @wjt or @cassidy know the detail?
The data does not persist locally, and on the server is totally anonymous so could not give you the data you'd need for this good idea.
We're also interested in keeping local app usage timers for parental controls and digital wellbeing. My pet bad idea is a Spotify Wrapped-style “You were in the top 5% of Nautilus users this month" toy...
