Bacci Alert Smartphone App

[thesmokindragon]

Does that tobacco app allow you to mark and alert areas where

They have it in-stock, if not might be a cool app for you dev guys

To make up, use GPS for location or not, then mark an in-stock

For others to views or update an online database of the bacci,

Hmm I would buy that app

Though I am an Android developer I'm not sure if it's worth the effort :P

Do you mean that the users themselves upload that a specific blend is in stock in a B&M? If so a simple web app is probably more efficient. I'm not sure if people would actually bother, especially with the pipe smoker density being quite low :P

True

Could be a game-changer though, if you think about it.

There are Beer apps that allow one to read reviews about different beers.... I bet a Luxury Tobacco Review App for the man on the go might be a good sell...

Kevin could create a smartphone-specific version of luxurytobaccoreviews.com; kind of like if you go to facebook.com on your iPhone yenno

Yeah web-app would work, just was looking at speedtrap type app,

About alerts and thought...what about an in-stock now @ xyz to

Help all our brothers/sisters out there in need of a specific blend they wanted

To snag

Perhaps a nice module plugin for wordpress or custom module would

Be all it would take, simple one click is key as Baskerville states

iPad has an app called Pipe Tool but it tracks your personal cellar. It's neat but not exactly user friendly.

Now imagine a quick in-stock @ link right within our tobacco review site...killer!

You know... you could probably use an RSS feed to do approximately the same thing. It would take some finagling depending on the site you were tracking but if you set it up on your PC then synced your phone to that account, it should come through. Depending on the site, it would either show updates or a bunch of garbage code but it could pay off.
