the animation is lovely and fluid. bit of a shame that the card faces don't have the pictures for the royal cards and the usual layout of multiple suit signs on the number cards, but this is still super.
I'm a serial starter-upper, this project being my fifth push in the past 10 years. Three were quick little things that started and stopped soon after - wrong market, no route to market, stronger competitors etc. One did become moderately successful locally, letting me take on a full time developer for a year before the economic meltdown brought us down. I've never been so excited about an idea as I am with SiteVis.it
Architects and Engineers visit sites every day, and their employers have a duty to ensure that they're safe whilst there. A simple way to comply is to do Risk Assessments for the sites that they visit. These documents should be checked before each trip, people should sign them to say they've reviewed them, and edits should be made if things change. IT NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENS. These things get shoved into a file, and never looked at again.
Whilst this is a monumentally unglamorous problem, it's one that can be at least partially solved by throwing some 'convenience' into the process.
SiteVis.it allows everyone in the company to have up-to-date copies of all of the active risk assessments that the company is working on, edit them intuitively, and track who sees which version. Offline editing, and background data refreshing.
its an interesting project, but being as how the the topic of the project relates to security, democracy and ease-of-use, I think there is a point relating to each that would be worth addressing if you've not yet submitted this for assessment:
1. Security: i know its a demo, but 'admin' and 'password'? No two-factor for admin login? nor biometrics? not even https?
2. Democracy: Candidate 3 is disadvantaged by the fact that their button is partially off screen when there is plenty of room to show all three (ideally in a randomised order)
3. Ease of use: Some visual feedback about what was happening with the fingerprint scanner would be really helpful. You held your finger there for what felt like a minute and if I couldn't see something on screen I think I'd have given up and walked off or found someone to help.
Thanks for the comment. Those are all great ideas. The coding was completed in 8 weeks so I really was crunched for time especially simply getting all the hardware to interface. I am continuing some work on it in my free time and all of these are fantastic ideas. There is now HTTPS on the web now, I like the idea of 2 factor for admin login quite a bit. as to point 2 and 3, I recognize the fact that the UI is/was fairly lacking and is definitely something that is a high priority for the project.
It's a sound idea, and a genuine problem. I'm not 100% sure I'd be comfortable with those spreadsheets sitting on someone else's servers though - even if well encrypted. You presumably have the key too?
