I can't resist the urge to plug my project here. It failed as a Show HN, but now it's very relevant: https://github.com/geomaster/beoprevoz https://github.com/geomaster/beoprevoz. In short, it's a neat public transport FxOS app, specific to Belgrade, Serbia (but in theory and by design pluggable and easy to generalize to arbitrary areas), that boasts some cool features, such as Google Places/Google Maps integration, local data to make it independent of Internet access, an optimized client-side routing algorithm for shortest-path calculation, among others. Check it out, all feedback welcome! (It's even multilingual :)
- milankragujevic 12y agoHey geomaster! Long time no see... You probably know who I am... That's a great app, mine (Wi-Fi password search) failed since Mozilla didn't want to approve it due to it sending location data to the server, so in the end it never even had the chance to enter the Telenor competition. Congrats on the app and the prizes.
- thegeomaster 12y agoI never imagined I'd run into you here, in all of places! Thanks for all the kind words and, having experienced something of a sort before, I really feel sorry for your situation with the app. I have skimmed through your websites and I see you have greatly improved in a multitude of aspects since I last saw any word from you. Keep striving for greatness, and if you wanna talk, drop me a line (email is in my profile) :)
- milankragujevic 12y agoThank you very much. I am restarting that project for Android this time, so maybe I'll have more-ish success. I'll contact you.
