I've always wanted to make a messaging app that would vibrate in Morse code when you get a message. I love the idea of feeling a message in my pocket and 'reading' it without looking, but I'm also not great at deciphering it, so it wouldn't get much use.


Many years ago when I had an iphone I would set text vibrations to be the morse code of the first letter of someone's name so I knew who messaged me without looking. That's the only feature I still miss to this day with my android.


Is this feature still available?


Yes


That would be fun. I think a lot of non-tech people didn't realise that the old Nokia default text message notification was the morse for S.M.S. (short message service). That was a worryingly long time ago though.


Oh I really like this idea! If you do make this please post it here.

This would be a great learning tool for those of us who are trying to learn it also.


I have a feeling this app would greatly increase the number of phantom vibrations I experience.


I've been wanting to write a keyboard app that would allow me to write a message from my pocket :D


I love that idea
