Re: New Scouting App Released

I like the bluetooth idea a lot, it hadn't even crossed my mind. Mine interfaces with a custom webpage on our team's server, and utilizes the SQL database on the server for data storage, but as such, the app requires an internet connection.

I plan on releasing mine sometime soon (probably not in time for this year's game), including the php source and a script to generate the database tables needed.

I'm open to any idea-sharing though, I like the bluetooth idea, and I'm still working on data presentation functionality.


Good on ya!
Yeah, our original idea was to use WiFi and the internet, but we read a rule that restricted wireless communication in the stands, so we found Bluetooth as an acceptable solution, but I was considering interfacing with our teams database to create a publicly available database of everybody's scouts.
