[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Further work on LCTG smartphone app

[Harry Forsdick]

Folks,

Last week, I presented Glide, a platform for developing smartphone apps.  As
part of that talk, I demonstrated building an app for our group.

Over the past week, I have worked more on that app to the point where I now
think it is getting useful.  You can see that app and install it on your
smartphone at:

   - https://lctg.glideapp.io

By the end of the demo last week, we had two developed two tabs you could
select to see:

   1. Information about the group. [Home]
   2. Information about the members of the group [Members]

Now I have added several additional tabs:

   1. Information about our interests [Interests].  With the information in
   this tab, you can see who shares interests.
   2. Information about the talks given at our meetings [All Talks]. Note,
   there are two additional tabs [Past Talks] and [Future Talks] that I plan
   to eliminate shortly because I have figured a way to put the same
   functionality in the [All Talks] tab.

I have also copied information in the Wiki about talks from 2021 and
upcoming talks.  There are now about 78 talks listed in the app.  There are
more from prior years that I will enter over the next several weeks.

Users of the app can view the video recordings of our meetings.  At the
moment, the Wiki has a problem and is not working.  In January, Steve
Isenberg will fix the problem when he returns from SFO. As a result, many
of the actual PowerPoint (or other presentation programs) versions of the
presentations are not working.

Before the demonstration last week, I developed a questionnaire that some
of you filled out to provide information about yourself.  At the top of the
[Members] tab, there is a link to that form that others can use to provide
information about yourself for entry into the [Members] tab.  I hope you
will go ahead and provide this information.  I hope to add a capability for
allowing Members to correct their entry in the [Members] tab.

Finally, there are some missing pictures for some of the existing members.
It would be great if these people could send me your photograph.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions about improving this
app.

Regards,

-- Harry
