Share images through maps

[kbftech]

Description:

• Allow users to select, share and manage images through the map.

Use cases:

• MVP:
  • Share images based on specific location, regardless of the date/time (All pictures taken at a friend's house)
• Enhancements
  • Share images based on current location of the user (ie: Currently at an event)
  • Share images from different users, based on location (if security allows it)

Acceptance crieria:

• I can intuitively select images in the map, from the interface using the mouse.
• I can create a share based on the selection
• I can view existing shares for management (link copy, modification, suppression)
  • Nice to have: I can filter existing shares using the map region for management

Other Nice to have :

1. It is possible for the other apps to interact with this functionality (an API, maybe).
2. this functionality works also for the contacts (1+2 = I can send a message to all my contacts/users in a specific area)
3. I can define complex regions like "inside this circle A except the ones inside the circle B". If a society is organizing an event it could share all the photos except the ones "in the backstage". This last one can grow really complex and requires a lot of work for the interface.

@Spartachetto: Point 2+3 The esiest way for this abstract Region would be a validation function, which returns truw if the point is inside and falls otherwise. In this abstract way I'm not shure whats would the job oft the maps APP. You can get contact with geo attribute from the Server via DAV. All which remains is a For loop filtiering with the validation function. So this for loop would add an entrie dependency to the maps APP.

@tacruc first of all thanks for taking the time to answer.

I get your point: the logical definition of a complex area (point 3) and the verification if an object like a contact falls within it (point 2) are probably better done in the server.

What could be the role of the maps app? Here are some suggestions for your consideration:

• when I have a set of objects (photos, contacts, places of dates, ...) that fall within a selection region, as determined by the server, I'd like to see them. Said in another way: the maps app could be the visualization tool for the result set of the for loop done in the server
• the maps app could be the visualization tool also for the abstract region
