Insights (heat map)

[serrq]

I want to know when an user is more active in writing/calling to me. All happens locally and offline, like statistics.

For example:

00:00 03:00 no activity
03:00 06:00 no activity
06:00 09:00 strong activity
09:00 12:00 medium activity
12:00 15:00 strong activity

and so on...

the same for the week days (mon --- sun)

This help an user to send messages according with the recipient habits/needs.

Of course, heat map is available for both users.

They are data already available. Just I ask to show them in a clear manner.

No one, not even the SimpleX dev team, can prevent an ill-intentioned person (who is connected to you) from starting to take notes on your habits, on the time when chats and phone calls happen and create graphs and histograms about the habits of the interlocutor.

So you are not protected even if the dev team does not produce this useful feature.
Useful when using it for non-evil purposes.

Even a gun can be used the wrong way, but in certain circumstances it acts so that the law is respected. And thus, would it be useful not to invent it for fear that it will pass into the wrong hands?

An example taken from another app. Here is shown the "week days" view heat map.

Based on this thermal map I will not disturb my pen pal on tuesday, thursday, saturday and sunday because he is busy or wants to relax with his family.

Most likely the best days to talk with him are monday, wednesday and friday.

Even. How much does my interlocutor want to talk on the phone with me before he gets tired and announce the surrender? 1 hour, 10 minutes, 40 minutes?

All these informations help us not to "attack" or not to exceed the threshold of irritability of our interlocutor.

Also heat map is useful to monitor yourself behavior. Useful to self detect if you are having a trend to stalk your interlocutor.
For example the dev team could developing a (aggressiveness) strength bar like this (of course this bar tracks other kinds of trends):

How much time I write/call to my interlocutor in a hour/day/week/month?

10 times regular
100 times is a stalking, please self regulate yourself with a better behavior. Try to wait more time before writing him again.

PS: It also depends if you get a reply or not.

Heat map is an helpful tool.

On which days of the month do I have the most success in conversing with him? In which days do I have the least success?

You can strategically planning an important call following a trend that has already been repeated in the past and that will probably be successful because it will meet the habits of our interlocutor.

For example, a parent will notice that he calls his child (university abroad) on the weekend and on days when he usually has no class.
