A project to make it easier for Peace Corps Volunteers to order their medical supplies from a local Peace Corps Office. Volunteers can order by sms or webform. PC Staff interact with the orders in a simple to use dashboard.
We should be in a position to roll out a mobile client in the coming weeks. This offers some nice opportunities, like:
Being able to "place" an order while offline (saving it locally and syncing later)
Being able to have the app compose and send a text when network connectivity is bad
Prompting for receipt acknowledgement using on-device notifications (and swipe-to-confirm)
First pass at the app will just include the PCV side of the app (make a request, view your history, confirm / flag responses).
This would link in with a general-purpose API that @jamesdabbs is building out, so if someone else wanted to target Android they should be able to; I'm happy to document and publicize the API once it gets all situated. (https://github.com/jamesdabbs/medlink/tree/respec)
