Soon to be added features:

  • I would like a way to have pictures resized down to icon dim of 50px by 50px to be used as custom user icons and maybe as picture markers. Users should be allowed to have a custom icon to mark there location like google maps G+ Done
  • Why not have events that are in the future as well as the present displayed on the map if filter to add them are active.
  • add more event icons for , Walks, Hikes, group Bike rides, Exersize, (part done), religious ceremonys, AA meetings, Chat groups on topics, music events, car bike accidents reports, traffic backups….
  • Add an event table that is sortable by time and distance from the user, the table will also contain a link to the Gallery if it's a picture or the Map if it is a Map marker event. Done
  • Add input box on both picture event table and tracker event table for number of hours back in time to search for date in table. done with invisible input from configs
  • I'm adding a GPS track smoothing algorithum to make tracks more accurate by filtering out bad GPS points provided by phone. Done
  • I'm creating a new simple page just for walking measurement display to easily see how far you walked in a period of time and how many calories you burned, average speed, max speed. Maybe later I'll add records from previous days. Done
  • Create a wiki page showing and explaining each TrickTraker Map Icon and what they can be used for.
  • I'm creating an entire new site on top of this just about linking up walkers that tracks on map and page with time walked, total distance, total cal, this page will also send the track info to server. Done
  • add one more site like above but just about bicycle riders and hiking. Done but works with all activities and adding more all the time
  • Add group filter focus, some method to only see a set group of people. I think a group that can be created by anyone or yourself that will just be another 6 digit number that will point to an array of numbers being in that group. also add groups of groups. What's in the group lists will be viewable by all.
  • Privatized people and groups. if you don't want to share your location with the world you can add the option to only share with your group. Not sure we really need this as we really already have this with G+ (google) so why duplicate what's already done by others. This can also be done by just cloning the site and putting a password on it or add group user passwords to it.
  • Add User database table entry to mark date that a user has joined.
  • Delete users from database and all users marked data points if they haven't made any location updates over some window of time (90 days?).
  • Delete any database point that are older than 1 year old. As we grow I expect we won't be able to handle all the data and will have to limit time data is saved to reduce disk space and processing power and bandwidth needed to support the system.
  • Create an android app version of funtracker.site. It would not be difficult to port the javascript code of the present website to embedded static based javascript in much the same way as Centaurus Stellar Wallet does it using Apache Cordova and Ionic. This might add a few new features and might run faster, but not really sure it's worth it to do for just one platform. but Ionic also supports Iphone too. Time required for learning curve would be big. instead of app we created shortcuts to run like an app
  • Need fix problem in Traccar auto start on boot. Seems on two of my android phones I have to manually start Traccar (after phone auto shutdown and restart each day). Not sure the problem is in my phones or Traccar. if needed I'll make a branch of Traccar to fix it. Fixed by factory reseting my phone, not sure of original cause yet
  • Need Fix display issues between how funtracker.site looks on a big screen and a small phone screen. Need better support for responsive css coding. example fullscreen button on map almost impossible to hit on a phone. I think Icons on phone need to be bigger or at least make Icon sizes modifiable in configs. Done or at least improved
  • Add custom Icon images to user table list Done
  • Add audio alert when a tracked device moves outside defined radius. Done
  • Add audio… alerts when tracked device comes within radius of target Done
  • Add feature to disable and enable tracking within a radius of a target point Done
  • need to add delete static events (or any events) to allow cancel or ending an event, I will add colom in track table to delete them. Done
  • Make a new site called disastertracker.com (or other name) and set it up to track what is needed in a disaster like dead bodies, hurt people, broken structures, damaged roads and infrastructure, broken comunications, lack of water, lack of food, lack of shelter. fire, gun fire, explotions, traffic accidents. Might need some added software changes to allow resend info when coms fail and added mesh support.
  • Create a list of preset links to allow setup of popular user default settings. This will also make it simple to instruct someone how to reset defaults when working with old installs. Also to setup differences between small phones and big desktop system. Done
  • Add cached map tiles to make a repeat location come up faster and also allow some work to be done offline or on a mesh network. Some work has already been done https://github.com/allartk/leaflet.offline.
  • Add activity icon for market or farmers market (high priority) to advertise local shops and garage sales, default expire time should be changed to ?? for markets? min expire should be 12 - 24 hours Done
  • Integrate our new stellar.org currency, equity exchange and money remittance transaction wallet to allow sending money or setting up micro loans, exchange currency, from and to anyplace on the planet for a fraction of a cent per transaction. Also used to purchase, trade and sell equity transactions of shares in funtracker.site or anything else you want to deal in.
  • Integrate our own todo list much like todoist.com , to keep track of what you need to get done and share your shoping and other tasks and status with others.
  • Need to add swimming activity icon, not sure why I forgot this one and that's what I do most now. so this is high priority and easy to do when we complete moving servers to singapore VPS.
  • Integrate pokerth_accounting that allows playing texas holdem poker using stellar.org uncentralized crypto currency, already works just need install and add links. maybe make it prity and integrate to users chat name or map numbers
