https://engineered.at

Feed Aggregator with HN/Reddit style front end. Haven't put much time into it since deploying 6 months ago, hoping to do some work over the holidays. Next step is summaries/excerpts from each post, and automated hash tagging using some simple machine learning.

1) Order Link (http://www.orderlink.io/), 2017: Beta status, it is a web app and helps to process orders at events or in restaurants with mobile devices in real time. Guests can also order with their own mobile devices. Currently looking for real users and a way to ensure that people are really at the location.

2) SU Grabern (http://www.sugrabern.at/), 2017: Website of local football (some would say soccer) club, quite simple and minimal, but a lot of expansion potential.

3) Graberner GeschichteN (https://www.grabernergeschichten.at/), 2016: History documentation of my austrian community (video interviews), videos in german with english subtitles. Created with a friend, maybe we do another round in the future.

I made a GTA V cover maker app right around the time when GTA V came out. The app allowed you to put your own images into a GTA V style cover (like this [1]. And here's a custom cover made with the app [2]). The challenging part about this was that there was no way to work with non-rectangular View on Android, so I had to draw everything directly to the canvas. Because of that there was also a lot of mucking around with low level bitmaps and matrix transforms. That was the first app I made when I was learning Android development.

Then I made a minimalist ToDo app for Android.

Next I made a public transit live timetable app to learn iOS, which was pretty much dead on arrival when I released it, as the local transit company released an app with all my features and more right before I released mine (I took way too long to release that anyway). Neither of those is in the Play or App store anymore.

Right now I am working on http://madewithreactnative.com where I interview developers and teams about their experience creating apps with React Native.

I’ve also had started other side projects, most of which have never seen the light of day however.
