  • Android 2.1+ device
  • Google libraries (Unmodified Android phones should have this already. Hacked phones with no google .apk package will not work).
  • Phone-sized screens only. Android devices with tablet-sized screens are untested and may not work correctly.
  • The device must be connected to a cell or wireless network.

Prototype depth

Our application relies on a fair amount of backend functionality. We omit some of the backend implementation, resulting in the following:

  • Location services are random - we do not use sensor data.
  • No camera integration - adding photographs does not work
  • No contacts list integration - adding contacts does nothing
  • The sharing button does nothing. A context menu for Gmail/G+/Twitter/Facebook/etc. should come up.
  • No undo functionality - deleted items should fade away over a few seconds instead of disappearing abruptly.
  • No smooth curves. The path between journal entries shown on the map should be smooth and continuous, but we only show a jagged straight-line path.
  • The map shows all journal entries instead of only the ones visible at the scroll location in the list. Discovering the scroll location is very hard and we are still working on it!
  • Deleting an entry while in the view mode does nothing.
