   Not at the moment, but it would be easy to add. If your parents use iPhone or iPad, I am happy to add an intensity label and/or a filter for them so it would display/read out those that are over certain thresholds.

   Walled garden is not good. But I found it much harder to develop the same app functionality on Android (native). Android SDK is harder to learn, gradle upgrade often break build, compatibility libraries are quite confusing (which one should

    I am looking to build this for a different reason so families (today and future) can chat with a virtual me. I know what you mean tho. I am a parent too.

    I made my own navigation app... sidekick-app.com; combining Google Map features with video recording, speed camera warnings and traffic sign recognition. (e.g. accelerating towards STOP sign with speed will generate a sound.)

    This is brilliant. Your sketches would also highlight what really mattered to you as opposed to the factual details from videos/photos. I am going to try it, starting with the fireworks watching last night.

    Congrats on the launch and nice work! I combined Google Maps with camera in my app too, but for a different purpose. It's for drivers who uses a phone mount, so they can record dashcam-like video while using Google Maps. In addition, t

    Maybe we can use it as a self-improvement exercise: Carve out a day every year to write a brand new bot (no reuse) to see how it fares against older bots. Try to outsmart ourselves.
