mobile app tasks

[Dirk Hohndel]

Hi Bryan,

A pleasure to meet you in person today. I always love it when I get to meet people in person.
I'm happy to say that I have met quite a few of the active developers in person over the years - so now all that is left is to turn you into an active developer :-)

We talked a bit about the mobile UI and why it's written in QML - and things that really would help make Subsurface-mobile better.

There are many threads on the mailing list about ideas in that direction. What we are missing, I am learning, is a priority ordered list of ideas. And part of that is because on many topics people start, stop, sometimes get enough done to get it merged, sometimes don't, and in the end there isn't really a single, consistent vision how things should be. It's almost always driven by whoever has the time and energy to implement things.

One thing that I mentioned to you was statistics. I know that Doug Junkins has done some work there for the desktop app, but he seems to have run out of time and/or energy as well.
But at it's simplest, just getting a few base statistics implemented in QML would be extremely helpful. There's a thread from March 2019 that talks about this.

Not a lot of meat there, but maybe Doug has more details that he can share with you?

My guess is that QML/QtCharts would be the way to go: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcharts-qmlmodule.html <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcharts-qmlmodule.html>

I know this is very thin - I don't have a design, I don't have a do this, then that list. All I can offer right now is a rough direction. And the promise that I'll work with you if you want to go down that road and that I'll help you refine the idea what this might mean from an implementation perspective.

Thanks

/D
