Re: [amsat-bb] Improvements to the AMSAT Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page
My plan was to volunteer to develop a mobile app, the status page isn’t the easiest to use on a phone. There are also other features that could be incorporated like automatic grid field population, alerts on status changes (think AO-7 mode flip), etc.
Web development is one of my weaknesses but I’ll do it if I have to.

Cool! I've been working on seeing how mobile friendly we can bulletin display. Your idea for an operator-focused app seems very timely. So far the bulletin display on mobile devices that we've got hacked out is whatever WordPress does to color within the lines.
Android Studio has been limited usefulness to me ... perhaps I'll need to get smarter.
Let's see what cooks up :-)

It's been a decade since I've replied to a buliten board, apologies if this goes wrong.
I've been working on a few satellite related apps as an intro to Android programming, so just wanted to throw my name out there if anyone wants to work on something.
My volunteer applications seem to always get lost, but if anyone needs a programmer I'm happy to help.

Hi Nathan,
My volunteer applications seem to always get lost, but if anyone needs a programmer I'm happy to help.
I can see perfectly where you're coming from! I've had mil-spec testing experience for temperature/altitude/vacuum/vibration/radiation/EMP testing and my offer to help test cubesats is "somewhere out there". So, in the meantime, I've found I could ferret out news items and [hopefully] make them interesting to us satellite folks.
I've been working on a few satellite related apps as an intro to Android programming, so just wanted to throw my name out there if anyone wants to work on something.
There has been talk (like when isn't there talk) of improving the AMSAT web scene. I'd give ourselves the few weeks heading into the Board meeting and Symposium for a few things to gel up. There may be more to report after a few heads have gotten together in Arlington, VA.
So, hopefully, like myself, you'll be standing by for just a bit! I'm certainly glad to meet you and thanks for your renewed offer!
