Sync (with Desktop)

    Syncthing !!!:
        p2p file sharing "dropbox/gdrive alternative"
        couldn't make it work (with small effort put into it) for CHT internals
        I have to manually restart server almost everytime I want to sync. syncing ~30GB >> since last update it works great

    VNC Viewer:
        [!!] FIND FLOSS ALTERNATIVE
        [!] Is there a RealVNC alternative for server?

    QR (probably not useful IRL):
        QRStream (android):
             """provide for communication with a device without using radios or USB port. This can be very useful in a handful of obscure situations."""
        zbarcam:
            sudo apt-get zbar-tools
        Terminal QR code --> Barcode Scanner:
           Use: to quickly send short (<200 char) texts over. Maybe more with quality parameter.
           sudo npm install -g qrcode-terminal; qrcode-terminal 'test'
           http://github.com/gtanner/qrcode-terminal



Maps

* OsmAnd
        * install & download the maps you need
        * configure track-saving ... document this [!]
        * Ok, also learn how to use it. Quite a lot of stuff.
        * Contributing to OSM would be interesting too:
            >> lol, +M has a non-competition clause (until may 2018)
        * also see 🔗workflow (\Maps)

Communication
        Telegram (Mobile + Desktop) +
        WeChat (for access to China)
        WhatsApp:
            don't give access to contacts, use "https://wa.me/full_phone_number" trick
        Signal
        Twitter (get tweets from X as notifications)
        ?Facebook(Lite)?:
            no, just use the web interface + bookmarks trick
        ?Signal, Telegram, Snapchat, AndChat IRC (annoying conn errors)?
        >> Actually some command-line Workflow for Twitter & Fb posting would be awesome
        >> Clicking in the desert on 3G sucks
        >> see Desktop



Offline reference

Wikipedia (saved pages)

ElectroDroid (!!!!!! must have reference for elements, chips, cable pinouts, ...)

EveryWiki (impressive more for its list of wikis, than as an app):
    ?camping/nomad/survival/prepper/army("FM 21-76" - rather find PDF)/first aid :)
    >> have a lot of this in /BOOKS ! rather invest into reading + annotation!

    * what I really need is documented under #safety
    * so a camera that can detect + react to environment
    * a "perimeter security", like >20m outside of tents, to give you advance warning
    * ... and NIGHT CAPABLE >> RPi camera has no IR filter (see hardware)

Camera

    Computational photography
            A better camera: http://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Almalence >> HDR and Night mode are really good, but free version is nagging
            devCam: iterate over camera parameters - for research datasets, doesn't work on my phone
            Wishlist: long exposure,HDR,super-resolution(or 20MP+ camera),change amplification(heartbeat),medical,"sensor replacement" learning
            ?Photosphere that works without gyro? >> 360 panorama

    Analysis/Detection
        Color analysis / Camera color picker -> Uros
        HydroColor: Water quality app... paid, needs 18% Grey patch :)

        Barcode scanner (QR, barcode, and obscure code formats)
            ...: color/image analysis, computer vision/machine learning
        Google PlaNet:
            (Not an app)
