Hi all mobile lovers,
i have developed an application to share your location information with your friends and employees. I know that there is Google latitude and others, but hopefully this products is different and focusses also on the bussiness side / implementation of these technologies.
Some features:
- Send TraQ Code to your contacts, so they can follow you 'live' for an hour online.
- Map View shows your friends live on the map including speed information,
when GPS is used. I mean really live and animating and all
- When TraQCode Contact is also destination, the route is calculated and drawn on map, including live destination distance and ETA !!
You can watch a demo video on http://www.vimeo.com/paltraq for how TraQPro works and looks like...
I need some beta testers who want to test the functionality of this product.
so where to ask then @ xda developers . Currently it only works with VGA/WVGA devices!
People who want to download and Beta test, please register at:
http://forum.traqpro.com
* Please post all bugs and feature request at forum.traqpro.com *
and i'll send you a private message with your account information.
Thank you and special thanx to those who want to participate to make it a better product.
Cheers,
MrQ.
Was looking for something like this! Allready started to develope my own! But yours is better
SO: Please send me the Beta Version, I allready registered in your forum!
How fast is the update rate for the GPS position? Can you let people decide for themselve how often it is updated? Because some people want to conserve battery, but on the other hand it is not as precise...
(Less battery consumption <-- vs. --> More precise position)
I think I can even help you to develope... or to translate (to Russian or German...)
Hi Koffein Schluck,
good to hear that you like it Check your private messages in the TraQ forum for your BETA account details.
The update rate is 1,5 seconds in the mapview, to get the live tracking experience of your friends or employees. When you are in the main menu the update rate is 15 seconds on MPS location updates and when GPS is on and fix it's 1,5 seconds
I already have the option for the user to determine the update rates on MPS, to spare you the battery power. Further more there is also a second application which runs on scheduled times to report your position to the servers and sleep again, pulling as almost nothing from your battery live !!
Must do some more testing with it to release it, but stay tuned.
Also de website wil be in Silverlight technology to view your Trips and some other info.
Busy as hell, more to be released soon..
Stay tuned
Btw, check out the TraQCode feature, it's really coOl. Select a contact and send him a code with email or sms or both so he can track you live online.
Next,
If you say the person whom you are sending your traQcode is also your destination, you see the complete route on the mapview including destination distance and ETA information!!
Also check out the resource folder after installation if you want to customize the graphics.
The languages folder contains text files with all languages available. If you translate the english
one to german and to russian we have to more languages available in the app!!
Btw, please post your findings on TraQPro forum..
Hi everyone,
I'm currently developing an App that's about to hit the market (G:RSS). The next feature I want to add is push and tile notifications. The problem here is that I'll need to set up a server that regularly polls Google for every user of my app, checking for unread RSS counts, then pushes them out to the notification server.
As you can imagine, that's a lot of bandwidth. I'd like to toss out the idea and see if there are enough people interested in going in together on a Virtual Hosted Server who's specific purpose is to send push notifications for application developers here on XDA.
It would be a linux host, running PHP and MySQL, and I could set up SFTP accounts and a web management system for anyone interested in hosting their webservices there. I'm looking at a number of different hosts, all similar to Amazon's EC2 setup, though some as static VMs.
If you're interested, please post with what app you're developing and the volume of outbound requests to both the Microsoft Push Notification Server and external servers. If enough people respond, I'll put together a proposed budget for what it would take for us to get it up and running.
Any other suggestions are welcome, too, of course.
Thanks,
Ben
Just an FYI - Amazon ECS is offering a free "small" VM with new ECS customers - 750/hours a month. May be enough to get you started.
If you have MSDN / Technet or any of the Microsoft partner such as Webspark / BizSpark i believe MS offers free/cheap/VERY cheap Azure hosting.
personaly, i love the features of azure and the cost is really good considering the service level (and SLA). I currently have an azure extra small instance that costs 5 cents an hour but i also got 6 months of a free small instance through a webspark deal.
I guess my 2 cents is that MS has a TON of freebies if you sign up for webspark/bizspark or the technet or msdn options. I would recommend any wp7 developer take advantage of the products. Heck, even sign up for the Microsoft Partner network and pay the 350/year for 10 licenses of darn near every Microsoft product made and use the discounts from your partner program to get deals on azure/hosting/development tools. It pays for itself big time.. just too much to absorb I got 100 seats of exchange email through Office online and trying to get a few licenses for sharepoint so my phone will be fully integrated
** Edit: **
With that being said, i'll volunteer an Azure compute node with SQL azure access to get a few developers up and running. Can setup a paypal expense account to share any costs above and beyond what i get with my current service.
I am working on a web service and thought it might be of interest to Windows 8 app developers out there, who might find the service useful and could even help testing it and offer advice on how to improve.
The product (codename Myelin, currently in alpha) brings powerful user feedback tools directly into your mobile apps. With just a couple of lines of code, you can integrate functionality that not only allows users to send comments directly to the dev, but also to track any replies and provide additional follow-up after the first submission. No private information (such as email address or account name) is ever shared, and no registration is required. It just works directly from the app.
Coming in the future are even more exciting features that make meaningful communication between the dev and the end user simpler and faster.
On the backend we have a feedback management portal that allows to monitor incoming feedback efficiently and manage any required follow-up in a bugtracking-like approach (think support tickets).
We have recently rolled out a client (== app plugin) for Windows 8 HTML apps, and would welcome devs willing to take it for a spin and give us feedback. BTW, XAML support is coming in the future; if you'd be interested, let me know and this work may move further up the priority list. XAML version for C#\VB Win8 apps is also available.
The service is currently free while it's in active development. While there are plans to eventually take it commercial, we will in any event be very accomodating to our early adopters.
You can read more at https://www.tfp0.com/s/windows8. If you're interested in learning more, reply here, PM, or just go ahead and sign up over at the website (we have plenty of spots available) to see what we have going there.
Below is a collage of various screens that the plugin introduces in the form of settings flyouts.
<= clickable
Since I've seen some offline interest in a XAML-based version, I wanted to note here that we did in fact roll out a version of the plugin for XAML.
In addition, both versions (HTML and XAML) are now available through NuGet as Timefork.DyneinXaml and Timefork.DyneinHtml .
Heya!
I'm looking for beta testers for the new version of my app, Pill-Fill. A couple interesting features:
Simple: It automatically imports your medications, doctors, and pharmacies from your pharmacy or insurance company. Easily input other RX and OTC medications by linking against a database of with more than 2 million drugs, doctors, and other clinical records.
Smart: It links each of your medications with FDA information, the prescribing doctor, the dispensing pharmacy. Automatically warns you about potential drug interactions, recalls, dosing problems, and more.
Secure: Available on all of your devices thanks to a client-encrypted and cloud-synced profile- No one (including myself) can access your information without your master password. (similar to LastPass)
And all of that's free. I've recently done a major redesign of the UI and would really like some feedback about usability and some of the other rough edges I've inevitably overlooked (I've been looking at the interface so long I'm a bit numb to it!)
Full Disclosure: I also just added a few in-app purchases to help offset the cost of the backend servers. If you're interested, I'm happy to enable any (or all) of the these to anyone that'd like to help with testing, just PM with your username/account once you're set up.
Google Calendar Integration: Your medication reminders privately synced to your google calendar. See medication reminders in Google Now and get automatic email and SMS notifications- even makes interesting functions like "Automatic Phone Call Reminders" or "Blink the Lights" possible when it's time to take your medication (via IFTTT integration)
Doctor's Prescribing Information: Access your doctors' hospital affiliations and see what medications they most commonly prescribe
Multi User Management: Manage up to 5 user profiles at once- Keep an account for your children or elderly parent/grandparent. Share
If you're game and live in the US, I'm using the standard G+ beta community (Pill-Fill Beta Testers: /communities/103148439231670270726)- Join up and get to downloading! If you're outside the US (or just dislike G+) and still would like to help, PM me and I'll send you a copy of the APK- though the US only functions (Doctor/Pharmacy links, Automatic import) won't work obviously.
Thanks!
Michael
