[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Demo Notes App

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi All,

I thought I'd have a go at creating an app! As I wasn't able to make it
over to Birmingham on Thursday I used the time to get Version 1 up and
running.

It's very basic (showing OSM notes when given a set of coordinates and
radius) but it has all the components that you would need to build a more
complex app:

* Gets your location from your smartphone/tablet.
* Conversion of lat/lon with radius to a Bounding Box (BBOX).
* Queries the OSM API to retrieve the list of notes and comments.
* Links everything together.

In terms of use, it's not great at the moment. The next stage would be to
also show where the note is (either a map, or a distance with direction
compass type thing). After that I'll look at linking in other databases so
that it can show OSM Notes plus other things we like.

Blog post to follow (at some stage).

Here's a link (phone/tablet):
