It would be pretty cool, but would probably require the cooperation of RTE for DRM reasons.

well that was the whole point i'd be making it OS. just make it, let it skip ads and download the files and release open source. fcuk RTE. i'd understand if nobody else would want a part of it for that reason.

but of course, to quote linus, talk is cheap, show me the code. i'll report back if i ever get something going

L.Jenkins

Thing is, where we have multiple ideas, I'm sure we could get the ball rolling on each one and people can apply their own skills to a particular idea where possible.

There is already live tracking option in OsmAnd, but it uses google docs which is a no-go for me:
http://code.google.com/p/osmand/wiki/HowToSetupOnlineTracking

P.S. OsmAnd has plugin API - maybe there is no need for a separate app as a server backend + plugin might be enough.

That would be an interesting project to continue with. I was consider a similar project using AI as well to manage junctions better. Nothing worse than sitting at traffic lights when there's no need.

As for the project Damo, do you see a need for a back end?

Hmm don't think so.

Would see a need for a backend with PrzemoF's suggestion, which sounds interesting to be honest.

(I know it's late) open source glympse replacement based on openstreetmap. Glympse allows to do live tracking and sharing of location.

With enough users that kind of app can provide live traffic info using a central server.

Actually, just created a Git for use.

We are going with Android yeah?

I'm ok with that.

Lets find out what all image hosters we can use.

imgur is probably one everyone would suggest.
tincpic.com is another

And the list continues! https://www.google.ie/search?q=image+hosters&rlz=1C1CHMO_enIE499IE499&oq=image+hosters&aqs=chrome.0.69i57j0l3j69i62l2.1756j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Some possible feature:
- Hold a history of each uploaded image, include the option to remove the image (dependent in image hosting capabilities, usually a HTTP GET request with unique URL).
- plugin in support. Can we have image host support added by plugin?
-- Would image host plugin be based on meta data using common data structure e.g. XML, or would plugins be in form of .jar's ?

Since we have a consensus on the Image Up loader App, anyone what to proceed with the project and we could possible set up a git and get a few design docs going.

Grudaire

I'd be interested in helping out a bit..

(although not sure how much time I can commit, I studied Java in college, but I would not have too much experience with real programming either)

Ideas:
- Something about Ireland/ Irish language

Although I really like the image uploader idea

Twitter use twitpic I think. I suppose if that's how things are going, the only solutions are to keep up with the API or develop a site that could allow someone to share with other social media sites.

it's not twitpic i'm on about, sometimes in the photos you'll see where the image is really hosted, i can't remember now(i've a feelings its Instagram though) what it is but it is quite popular on there, whereas on facebook the images are just uploaded to it first mostly/solely from what i've seen

Well there would have to be some sort of check to site what sites will allow 3rd party app access. If instagram were deleting photos, I'm sure they could be ignored or some form of discussion could be brought up with the site to allow app access.

Is Instagram, not one of the post popular? whats the one people use on twitter?

it was to do with an update to their API regards security, but if you complied then with it, it allowed then - i think

but what about complying with all the API's would this be difficult, would you know
thats really what i was getting at there

hasn't the dev(s) behind Falcon - a popular twitter client - said the were thinking of quitting because Twitters' changing of the API.

I'm a little sketchy on the details here, so apologies

if it was an multi site image uploader, how difficult would it be to stick to/work with all the different API's?

Instagram recently were deleting photos uploaded by third party apps because of this, something like that anyway

Resizing and Compression would be useful tools before uploading.

We could set up a Git Repo and I could work on a back end for the app. Ideas on additional features? (i.e. Sharing on FB or Twitter)

Amirani

I do like the image upload tool though. I'd be up for contributing to that as much as I could.

Amirani

I've had an idea for an app/system for a while but it may not be appropriate in this context.

Basically users have an app that holds some basic information, primarily e-mail address. Then shops have a system that allows the user to tag their device whenever they make an in-store purchase. They'll then have an e-receipt of their purchase delivered to the app on their device which can partially function as some sort of bookkeeping tool. The system can be adapted so that certain stores can use it for their loyalty systems (Tesco clubcard etc.).

L.Jenkins

Now I like your thinking. Even if hosting or support doesn't exist, build it and they will come. I'm sure we can pool enough talent together. I work with C#, .NET and Java. So I can do a lot of back end work to make things happen.

h57xiucj2z946q

Yeah, maybe we can snoop around and see what popular image host services are out there and see if there is much support for them yet.

L.Jenkins

That's an idea.

Can look at something that has already been done and improve on it or make it our own.

One idea that I didn't see alot of support for in the android market was image uploaders to imgur and others.

I seen the odd app for imgur but no app with multiple image host provider support.

Voucher wallet for mobile? Scan qr codes, barcodes etc.. And relay them back when you are at store.. Tesco club card, subway etc... Although I think there might be a few out there already.

Its pretty hard to come up with ideas.

L.Jenkins

Anyone want to toss around a few ideas for a project?
