iOS app? #3

Open bellebethcooper opened 5 years ago

bellebethcooper commented 5 years ago

Hi! I couldn't find a way to contact you outside Facebook, which I don't use, so hopefully an issue is okay!

I'm a mobile dev and was thinking an iOS app version of CurlsBot might be handy. I think if it had a share extension, it would be possible to copy some text from a shop website, then use the share extension to send it to CurlsBot to analyse. I haven't looked into action extensions, but that might even make it faster/easier too.

I wanted to check how you feel about the idea of a mobile app? I could just make something separate without connecting it to CurlsBot at all, but since you've open-sourced the code and already worked on the logic for analysing ingredients, etc. I thought it made sense to check in with you first in case you'd prefer to be involved and have it connected to the CurlsBot project. No pressure either way, just wanted to float the idea!

Hi @bellebethcooper would love the help, I'm going to probably make an API at some point so that would definitely make it soooooooooooo much easier. Right now it's a Progressive Web App but that has a lot of limitations esp on iOS. Everyone who wants to help the best way to contact me is actually Twitter https://twitter.com/melissamcewen or my email which is on http://melissamcewen.com/

@melissamcewen Ooh yes, an API would make a huge difference. I'll check back in when the API is up and running then :)
