Hey guys, Yesterday I got kinda bored, so i figured out i'd either whipe the dust of photoshop to do some repainting, or whipe the dust of dreamweaver to do some php coding. I chose the latter. I've been thinking about creating a webapp for use with the 777X for a long time, and finaly I decided to do some research about creating an Ipad webbased app. After reading a bit, I actually got quite interested cause the possibilities are a lot better than I thought in the first place. Now one day later, I've started from scratch again two times and I think I finally got an nice and (almost) bugfree base. Visual and system wise everything can still change, but lets say the core is quite good now I guess. Only thing I can't seem to get working is the loading screen, but besides that everything (custom icon, fullscreen locked etc) is good now. At this moment the only two functions are weather information (METAR / TAF) and fuel calculations for the 777, and a lot of visual eyecandy such as day/day+lights/night+lights modus etc. The fuel calculations are from an excel file posted here somewhere, which I can't find again :(. Things I'd like to add in the near future: Derated takeoff calculator Routeplanner If possible, a way to view local pdf's to be able to open charts and manuals etc. I was thinking maybe more people like this idea and would like to use this (freeware ofcourse! ), so I built an login around the efb. Before I spend more time on that, I'd like to know if people are actually interested in using this? At this moment i've tested it on an Ipad mini and Ipad 1 (both 768 x 1024), if there is more interest I will make it new-ipad-native (bigger resolution images etc). Also I would like to know what functions would you like to see? I'm just an hobby programmer who hasen't really did any programming in ages, so don't expect me to do any magic. But I can always see whats possible and what's not. Main screen Fuel calculation input Metar / Taf output (Guess what 777F I fly the most) Nightview I noticed the quality of the screens are a bit worse, probably because of the host. Also the night view is a bit darker when viewed on my ipad. So summarized: - Do you like the idea/would u use it? - Tips/Ideas for new functions?
