VGCollect for Android / Re: iOS App - Gauging Interest

Necro again maybe you can lean on some of the devs (cough cough) in your community to help you write a PWA for the site that would look nice on all the above? Skirt all the silly stores all together.

Necro away. I think of some of my favorite features of other collecting apps and a big one is ease of barcode scanning in games. If the website was able to hook into the camera for that it would be cool, otherwise re-exploring an app would be an interesting idea.

VGCollect for Android / Re: New Mobile app ?

It's pretty responsive on my S10. The barcode is a nice addition, I would love to see a workflow that enabled a quicker scan, add to collection, go back into scanning mode, behavior. If you ever decide to open source the mobile  app I'd be happy to help work on it. Xamarin Forms is pretty easy to develop multiple versions of an app for a variety of platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, etc).

Regarding the Barcode Scanner. I had implemented that in an earlier release of the application, but when I updated the app it was no longer supported. I hope to get that feature added back once again in the future.

I started working on a similar app using Xamarin Forms a while back. Would be cool to help out to get those features going. You guys doing native java or something else?

VGCollect for Android / Re: I can't even log in on the app...

I was able to login with the new version. App seemed to believe I was logged in already on launch but once I logged out I got the user/password prompts.

Would be a good candidate for a xamarin forms app. Win 10, iOS, and Android ans others with 1 code base.

I was playing around with an iOS app so I can browse my collection on the go and couldn't find any info regarding if the API is exposed for external apps to hook into? Is this a public thing that there is documentation somewhere I could chew on?

I had actually started to tackle something like this with Xamarin to do a iOS/Android app until I saw there were a variety of tools that did the same thing. Some other sites expose their API but have found them rather cumbersome to say the least. Won't hold my breath here but here is another pro-open source post for ya.

Are you considering to put the code on GitHub, so that everyone can contribute?

I would like to see this as well. I personally would help with finishing up some of those 'coming soon' features. Especially the Wishlist, I can't imagine what would take so long to add a function that is basically a copy of the ones used to populate 'My Collection'.

One thing I would like to see added is the ability for the app to import my collection from a local file, I don't allow my phone to use 4g, opting for Wi-Fi only, which makes the app useless when I am in most retro/thrift stores or garage sales. I'm sure I am not the only person who doesn't waste money on a data plan for my phone. Shouldn't be too hard to add a button to 'update local file' that downloads the latest export file, and fills in the data off of that if the connection to the server fails.
