Hello Claire,

As I mentioned the Android app (Rev 1) for omTownYogis is complete.

It includes the "Google Mapped" Studio directory.  A link to the draft Studio Directory follows:    http://goo.gl/maps/qOE0j

Sounds incredibly excellent to me. THANK YOU!

I'll try to have the Android app working in a week. In parallel I will investigate the map portion.

Along the way I welcome questions and comments.

By the way, Reginald and his office manager Heidi are two of my heroes.

Extremely cool. I do not understand the Google map aspect but could probably grasp it with your help :)

For one thing, I'm a huge Reginald Baylor fan, so, I already doubly like where you're going. How would you like to proceed?

Yes online tools exist.

1.)  doubledutch.me might do it.

2.) shoutem.com provides what you need but there is a monthly fee and it might require modifications to your current website.

I envision this work be performed without making changes to your website.


Ultimately, the goal is for you to manage and own the code in the mid- term.   You would have approximately 3 months to take over the Google map. 

The Android app would be a static entity.  Why is this true?

When viewed in a browser your current website automatically reformats itself so it is viewable in the mobile device (e.g., Android, iTunes).  I would provide you the framework-code for viewing on a mobile device.  So whenever you make a change to your website that change is immediately reflected in all mobile devices that run your app.

The 2nd piece is the Google map.   I'm sure you could update that.

I welcome your comments.

Hello Discussion Group.  I was trying to figure out a way I could give something back to the Milwaukee Yoga community when I encountered omtownyogis.org.

My current thinking is to donate time and write an Android app that automatically packages the www.omtownyogis.org website on Android phones (in a mobile device format).

It would also include a Google map with your member studios and instructors' locations.

If this goes well I'd consider doing an iPhone app.

Following are links to a couple of my apps.
