Snap n' Send app build with new Live Text API
I'm excited about the possibility of a Snap n' Send app built with Apple's new Live Text API https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10026/
Thanks to @michaelrecycle I asked GPT-4, to make this app I desired. Amazing - Takes 7 steps. So knowing zero about Xcode and SwiftUI, it may take me a while. But hey, I am willing to give it a go!
From launch to traction is what I do best. After creating a prototype, I will be able to slot into the council's budget cycle and secure funding. I have been driving adoption of micro and full enterprise-wide apps for years, or turning around de-railed projects.
Being able to create a citizen app, that puts the power back in the hands of a citizen, drives transparency with evidence of local issues... Is exciting. UX is critical in all things related to citizen. So I will likely still need an 'expert' to take my prototype to the 'apple' UX level.
- Are you working on a project in this space?
- Do you know of any other examples in this space ?
- Is there any no-code platform for mobile data capture app?
As someone who is always helping communities and SMEs on the circular economy business transformation, this app is perfect for citizens, many use-cases:
- Imagine being able to easily sell items on platforms like eBay, TradeME , or your local selling app just by snapping a picture.
- Imagine reporting small issues to your local council, or even reporting river pollution to your regional environment team. And seeing the regional result on an interactive dashboard
- And don't forget about the tedious tasks like sorting through a box of electronics - with this app, just snap a picture to create a part list!
There are only a few examples of apps that use similar features, with image
like The Ocean Cleanup's crowd source data collector app "Citizen Scientist"

MYOBcapture does a great job with structured data like invoices and receipts.

But now, with Live Text API, we can expand to unstructured data.
It would be an amazing side project to tackle!
