It happens to us all to have good ideas but unfortunately we don't always have the time or the ability to realize them...

Instead of these ideas getting lost or dying we can share them and maybe they will be heard by someone in the free software community who is in need of inspiration but has the time and ability to realize them. 🤞

You can also share your idea and ask if people in the community are interested in helping you make it happen.

An application to read morse code by analyzing the live video or audio stream (lemmy.ml)

It could be interesting to have an application that once launched would analyze the live video or audio of the smartphone and if it detects rhythms or variations (for example a flash that pulses • • • — — — • • • ), the application would translate it into text "SOS".

The application would also have a writing mode where you could write and it would translate the text into flash pulses or audio sounds.

We could communicate in the night without wifi, without bluetooth and without network ^^

I do not know about video, however for audio there is already GGMorse (play store link) available for both modern smartphone platforms. You can communicate with Morse using UHF as well, but in my opinion it does not work as reliably as standard Morse code.

If you're curious, you can try talking to your friends with SSTV, but I'm afraid there isn't a free iOS app AFAIK
