The purpose of home screen is to show the most relevant information for the user. The application is location aware, and will show the most relevant information for the user at any given time.
This domain of contextual information is enormous, so the application is built around a limited set of sources for now.
The information shown is
- Digital watch
- Weather forecasts from YR
- The next busses for the closes bus stops
This is how it should look like in Development
