CosyDVR pluging to Osmand #3

Open dzmitry-lahoda opened 9 years ago

dzmitry-lahoda commented 9 years ago

It could be good if CosyDVR will become plugin of osmand (which does have services for tracking and gps). It will allow run one app instead of several.

It can be fruitful cause can follow osmand like monetization principle - you can by for 3 $ CosyDVR+ no limits, Google Play for free includes some limit (e.g. on video quality, limit on video length or number of files can be to damaging to usability, so need thinking). F-Droid will include full version or user can custom compile feature rich out of git.

Intersting idea but I don't know yet how to do this and have no much free time today. Will see.

As for monetization. CosyDVR will be free forever and even ad-free because this is a hobby project.

But you can help me to put it on the google play (of course free too). Opening google play account costs 25 usd. I'm collecting donations for this purpose. Nothing collected yet, but you are the second who is thinking about donation. If you still want to help this let me know about method sutable for you for money transfer.

Best regards, Serg Stetsuk.

Osmand is ad-free and open source, but still have monetization except donations. Osmand says if you a heavy user of maps and traveler, and downloaded more then 10, please pay for 11 or build osmand from source by yourself. CosyDVR can have similar model.

I searched for DVR on Google Play, found only one. You project is usable and can be second on market. But need some UI polishing and testing on some flagman device. You are one step from non hobby project to real product for many. I really like ideas of you UI against Daily Roads Voyager.

Actually I wrote you about donations, stating that you PayPal account neglects my donation, but I donated dozen of open sources without problem via PayPal. I can try Yandex Money or Google Wallet if you have.

There is problem of chicken and egg. Until you put your project onto Play, few people will find it, no donations given:)

Ok. No problem. Then just use program and send me feed back and your proposals.

Best regards, Serg Stetsuk.
