NEW messaging app, need testers and feedback!
ok, so I had another hairbrained idea and decided to try and see if I could do it. After exactly two weeks of learning the Android SDK and relearning Java.. I think I may have something worth testing.

Here is the basic idea...

In a town like Austin, you have a ton of youngish people who go out a lot. They also tend to go all over to different spots depending on whats going on, specials, etc... So, my idea was to make an app that facilitates that. Basically like an instant Evite/Facebook event type of thing.

So the app installs on your phone (Android right now, if it doesn't suck I'll add iPhone and Windows) then you can create groups from your phone's contact list. Now, when you decide to go out, you click the app, click a group, then you get a screen where you pick a day/time and you get a dropdown of LOCATIONS... these are prepopulated based on your area. (right now it is hardcoded to Austin but could be anywhere) .. when you pick a location (bar) it shows you info on the place and what is going on, then you can hit NEXT and send the prepolulated message. The message reads like "I'm headed to %LOCATION% around %TIME/DAY%. You should join me! -%name%" It then adds a LINK to the bottom that says "click here to let me know if your coming"

This is the cool part. The people you sent to will get a text with a unique link that they can click and get a mobile page where they see the same bar info with a map link and a yes/no button to let you know if they are coming. They can also click to see who else is coming and if those people have said yes/no or not responded yet.

That's the basic gist of it.. there is a lot more and future plans.. if it doesn't suck. What do you guys think so far?

word of warning, it is splitting up long text messages which is fine except that it sometimes splits the URL .. I'm working on a fix for that right now, should have an updated version in a few.

well if a friend (you have A friend right?) uses the app and send you an invite, you at least will see it as a text and can click the link and see the mobile page with info. (your phone has internet right? )

I have a friend as long as I'm not late with the monthly payment. Yes I have internet. I've even used it 2 or 3 times.



I'm not your target audience (shocker I know) I just thought my GoPhone post would be funny. Then you ruined it.

Sigh.

BeerMe's post gave me an idea... (you're good for something!) Anyone who doesn't have an Android or just doesn't want to install some strange app to test... can at least test on the receiving side.. if they want. SOOO, if anyone PMs me their number I'll create a CP group to send a test to. (I promise I will just send the test and won't send naked pics of Phil.)

That's the nicest thing anyone here has said to me in a long time.

Thank you.

ok, so I am doing some cleanup type of things now... but I have questions...

For old meet ups/invites... how long should they stay in the local db? 24 hours past time of meet? 6 hours? 12? Right now it deletes anything older then 24 hours.. but I'm thinking I need to shorten it.

I'm also adding a CANCEL function.. so you can go to your list of pending invites and click CANCEL and it will delete the invite and send out a text to everyone invited.. letting them know you cancelled. Although I may wait on this... I'm trying to think of a way the invitees can still let each other they plan to meet up without the "host" if they want to.

I got all sorts of white people problems.

Does it notify the nearest Kirby sales person of the meet location? That might be a good option.

So, has anyone downloaded this and tested it out?

Today I'm learning/working on UI elements like an action bar and such... it should start to look drastically different quickly.

Nope. Right now it's hard coded to think you are in Austin. Eventually I'll add the ability to select a "home" area to use and also a gps enabled button that lets you choose a new area based on current location. But for now, no GPS.
