In a recent informal meeting of KDE users in Seattle, Andrew Lake from the KDE Visual Design Group gave me some ideas he had for KDE Connect. Since I think that we all have a different vision and different ideas that are possible to implement on top of KDE Connect, I decided to write this post asking for your ideas, in some kind of community brainstorming.

Also, since the last time I made a post about possible features for KDE Connect, a lot of them have been implemented or are work in progress, so I hope this post achieves the same effect :)

Here is my personal list of possible features:

Plugin for power management (sleep, shut down, etc).

“Find my phone” plugin, that makes your phone ring even if it is silenced.

Add media controls from the Android lock screen.

Plugin to keep your computer unlocked while phone is reachable.

Use the phone as a location provider for the desktop.

Akonady resources sync with Android (contacts, calendar…).

Plugin to print from your phone to your computer’s printer.

Add support for drag’n drop for touchpad plugin.

Port to other desktops and platforms: Gnome, Unity, MacOS, Windows…

Publish and maintain the iOS port that Yang Qiao begun this GSOC (any iPhone user around?)

And here is some stuff is already being worked on:

Answer SMS from the desktop (by David Edmunson).

Pair with a specific IP address or hostname (by Achilleas Koutsou).

Now it’s your time to come up with more ideas in the comments! And of course feel free to give your opinion/enhance the ideas on my list.

Update: As Aleix Pol suggested, I created a todo.kde.org for KDE Connect that I will be updating with the ideas that come up in the comments.
