Do we need both mobile and web app #1

Open NuttKatyISD opened 8 years ago

NuttKatyISD commented 8 years ago

We talked about this in both classes, but figured we could hash it out a little more here.

If there's a way to make the entire thing work from a website, is there any reason to develop a separate mobile application? Especially considering that we're planning on using Cordova anyway and it'll be using HTML / CSS / Javascript just like the web app.

Looks like the only thing we would have to have that a phone would offer would be access to the camera for scanning bar codes and QR codes. The web and mobile teams probably should look into whether that's possible without Cordova, or whether there's a way to bring just that part of Cordova into the web application.

Thoughts?

Came across a couple of websites that make capturing an image from the web browser look like it may be doable.
