How often do you get a receipt, and hope often do you go on trips?
Really it seems like the camera app should feed out new photos to other apps, like the receipt organizing app, to decide whether it's a relevant image or not, and act accordingly. Put the smarts in there downstream apps, not there cameras app...
- ryanmarsh 10y agoPhotos is a downstream app. It is different from the camera app.
- kybernetikos 10y agoI suspect he means that the logic should live in domain-specific apps which are subscribed to the device wide photostream. It sounds like a nice idea to me.
- sdenton4 10y agoExactly. Then you install the receipts app if you're there type of person who photographs lots of receipts, and no one else suffers bloat in their upstream photo app.
- coldtea 10y ago>How often do you get a receipt, and hope often do you go on trips? Might as well have asked "how often do I open a door, and how often do I go on trips". The fact that I get I receipt many times in a day does not imply that I (or the majority) go on and photograph it on my phone. Some do, of course (and I've done it a few times for very important receipts) but most don't (and not for most receipts). Whereas for trips it's rather the inverse. People usually photograph stuff on their trips. Besides trips is just one of the "regular" cases -- I've mentioned several. Do you really agree with the author of the article that: a) vacation photos, selfies, kids photos, food photos, casual snaps of friends, pets, etc. is 1% of how people uses their phone, whereas: b) receipt photos, and photos for magnifying things are the majority? I wouldn't even give 10% to the (b) case.
