    Ha I actually made an iOS & watchOS app based on that side of the equation after thinking "what's the minimum input I can provide for good hydration reminders?" It gives a reminder…

    I don't have much experience with DSLRs and didn't even know there were GPS modules for them, but that makes sense and is awesome! But yep it just pulls the lat and lon from the EX…

    Yeah! Awesome to hear! I was already thinking about adding that because sometimes some driving or public transit is needed to get within walking range haha

    Oh yeah! That part sucks. I should have done more name research first. I always tell people to search "photo find hiking" (quotes not necessary) because that's easier to spell than…

    Haha not a premium feature! Sometimes there are calibration issues. I meant to add some calibration checks and user feedback about needing to calibrate at some point. Try rotating …

    I thought it was passive, too. I've googled a little in the past and some people say it's in the same chip as the cellular radios (and the whole chip gets knocked out in Airplane M…

    Haha I know, I know... you're not the first to ask about Android! The reason I tried JavaScript first was to start off cross-platform, but when that failed I developed for the hard…

    Sure, but have you ever tried navigating to a photo that way? The map doesn't show your location, and even if it did you would still need some kind of compass arrow, like the Googl…

    It's a pretty good point actually! Because Airplane Mode disables GPS on the iPhone.

    OK, sorry you feel that way about SI!

    As long as you already have the app and photo on your phone it just uses the compass and GPS, which are both sensors built in to the iPhone and don't require internet.

    Thanks! I really appreciate hearing that!

    There's actually a screen you can swipe to to the left of the main screen where you can change the units, but I wanted to make an economic incentive for people to try SI so it'll c…

    Thanks! That's cool you tried the same thing! Cool idea about the collections. Another extension of it I also thought about is a version with some kind of node.js backend that's a …

    I've been hiking and foraging for mushrooms and wild foods, so I made this simple utility app for iOS. It lets you pick a photo you took (or that someone sent you) and then points …

    Yes. I think the LH001 is to biochem lab-grade liquid handlers what the MakerBot is to high-end commercial 3D printers.

    I've run into that 10MB problem, too! I think I remember Apple's threshold was 100MB originally, and the 10MB one is just absurd. These solutions seem a little bulky, but the tethe…

    I agree with your last point. It's too bad the Apple brand has been reduced to that of a designer fashion by the masses, or some kind of status symbol. It's like some people want a…
