• Looking for savable graphing methods

  First thought, play with MIT App Inventor https://appinventor.mit.edu/, they have dedicated blocks for graphing and cross-platform implementations of Bluetooth for Android and iOS. The data format is still up to you. Source: 11 months ago

• App for recording time periods

  Or you could go to https://appinventor.mit.edu/ and design your own custom app (no widget, though). Source: 12 months ago

• Easiest code to learn to make an app?

  If you want to make a mobile app you could try https://appinventor.mit.edu/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Trying to have a Ubuntu server I can turn on from my phone, log in as user, and start the Docker containers for my server. How do I automate this process?

  Maybe a raspberry pi that's on 24/7 connected to wifi and use that to send the wake over lan signal to the server? Arduino on the power pins also works, I did something quite similar but with a Bluetooth board, the code was really simple I just made an Android app with MIT app inventor that sent a signal to the hc_05 bt board, once the Arduino received that signal it shorted the power pin to 5v for half a second...

• Am searching for a partner who can help me with an app idea

  If your idea isn't complicated, have a look at MIT App Inventor. It literally is, drag-and-drop. That should get you started. Source: about 1 year ago

• What kind of business software do you wish existed as a selfhosted alternative?

  AppInventor - even kids can program mobile app without code tool. If you have a skills, you can build it as selfhosted. Source: over 1 year ago

• "Just Google it" makes me want to throw hands.

  For core concepts and general knowledge to get you started I highly advise looking at Https://www.w3schools.com/ Https://appinventor.mit.edu/. Source: over 1 year ago

• question about creating a work related app

  You could try MIT-app Inventor but for anything more complicated you'll have to go full-on Android Studio and databases. Source: over 1 year ago

• Rules are rules

  Oh yeah, that comment was just made in jest. My kids are actually learning to write mobile apps using MIT App Inventor. They have a lot more freedom than I ever got as a kid. Source: over 1 year ago

• Suggestions on how to build an app.

  Yeah there was this one I guess - https://appinventor.mit.edu/. Source: over 1 year ago

• How can I sell an App Idea?

  Don't take it to a place like a hackathon where you build a team to produce it, the company takes the rights and produces it itself, I've had this happen to me a couple of times. Take the time to build it, MIT has an app builder class you can just take https://appinventor.mit.edu/. Source: over 1 year ago

• 12 yr old non-English speaker in the US wants is eager to learn how to code. Please help

  Instead of Scratch, go with https://appinventor.mit.edu/ which builds mobile apps using similar visual coding methods. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Beginner here. What’s the best esp32 board for robot control with a Bluetooth controller?

  I haven't found any customizable gamepads for the ESP32, I believe if necessary, it shouldn't be hard to create your own app using MIT App Inventor, there are many tutorials on Youtube I believe, I just find it easier for me to make my own physical controller than to create an app :).

• Is this project possible?

  A friend and co-developer recently told me about something called MIT App Inventor that I think would work great for this project. This will allow you to build an app for the phone that is able to interface with the Arduino through the Bluetooth adapter. From there, the Arduino can then control a light, or pretty much anything else you want to interface with it. Phone rings, light turns on. From there you can... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is it possible to control two or more ESP32 microcontrollers in 1 web server, like 1 HTML page, like this photo, but I’m looking how to access to multiple esp32 just in 1 web server, any solutions ?

• Is there an android app that can send and receive data at the same time to/from an HC-05 bluetooth module?

  To the transmitting and receiving android app: In the app store are some "custom bluetooth remotes", but if you want some more specific commands than "forward, backward, left and right", you can build your own app using an MIT app inventor. Don't worry, it is a simple, block-oriented language and in this tutorial, the HC-05 module is used to send simple commands and controll an LED.You should find everything you...

• What kind of business to build offering my automation experience?

  Bash and Linux shell scripting are invaluable foundational starting blocks (if you are like me and dont want to bow to the Windows or Apple megaliths). Python is a close second. If you plan on doing any sort of database work PHP and SQL deserve your attention. If you plan on doing anything with AI, I recommend you check out (the now depreciated language) A.I.M.L. For a good example how to start designing your... Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to teach a young person

  He's 10. I wouldn't even use Android dev as an introduction for a full-grown adult. Scratch or making simple web pages gives quicker feedback (i.e. Something visual to show off). Then maybe try out MIT app inventor which is a lot like Scratch but allows you to create simple apps. Source: about 2 years ago

• Android Studio on Raspberry Pi

  From what I can tell, trying to use Android Studio on Raspberry Pi is essentially an excercise in futility. You might get it to work (kind of) but the trade off is that it would be extremely slow and could take potentially hours to compile an APK. If you are looking to develop android apps, and you insist on using the Raspberry Pi to do so, you might want to check out https://appinventor.mit.edu/ it's cloud and... Source: about 2 years ago

• How can I make a “kid's computer” today as good as an Apple II?
