Does anyone want to have a discussion of where to go from here? I know I have a question. Maybe this was on the kickstarter page and I just wasn't paying attention, but will Tin-can be open source? Will it be on Github?
That felt great. Thank you steve for the awesome video! insomniasexx do you have any interest at taking a stab at the Tin-Can logo? I owe a bunch of backers stickers. I'm thinking of something that conveyed that a network was available (you know those hotspot symbols?), and a Tin Can phone. Something monochrome. We'll get back on that.Maybe this was on the kickstarter page and I just wasn't paying attention, but will Tin-can be open source? Will it be on Github?
Yes. I put in on my calendar. I'm moving this weekend and working my butt off. So lets say I'll have it done by Wednesday 5pm PST. Okay?
I missed deadline. Moving SUCKS BALLS. But my place is so nice n so clean! 24 hr extension. Thank. you.
Alright. I'm at that stage where I know exactly what I want but I have no idea how to get there. Plus I'm drunk. So here's a draft and here's what I want to do the text like when I get sober. and colors and blah blah blah
I started over. What do you think. We can just use the center stuff for the app icon
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z4j0obpy8buee3i/h8jMLAiB_a There are a few versions in there and the .ai in case you have someone else who wants to do anything to it.
I was trying to come up with something that went with idea of sort of old school traveling messages. I don't know. I'll send you you some hi res different versions when I get home.
Let me know what you think of the idea/basics. Or I can start from scratch
I was going to mail JakobVirgil directly, but realized it might be worth mentioning to everyone here. what if you were to make standalone tin-can hubs? a 'tin-box', if you will. Initially, I thought of it as just for the sake of extending the area you can message across at an event or the like, thinking of the experience as a public IRC. but then, it occured to me. imagine the sort of personal temporal/proximal value you could give to your local dive with it, or some spot on the beach, or a geocache, or one of many trees in a park. imagine coming back weeks later to have someone's message pop up on your phone, a reminder, a number, an invitation, even a goodbye from someone you had only just met in passing. imagine if, you could maybe even deposit a message for that specific person, not knowing when it'd be delivered, like a mail box that only works if you decide to check it. imagine hiking along a trail and by some fluke, checking your phone to discover virtual graffiti. heck, you could set it up in a library, even put topics that pop up as you connect to said box. or use it for treasure hunts. or travelling. or in traffic. or at a stadium. or a book store. or even at home, even say your apartment building. just add public and private tabs to keep them sorted and tidy. private being people you've subscribed to, public being whatever's streaming through. i was considering making this a separate post, but didn't know if that'd be unnecessary. i'll throw money at it, i swear. :D
I think Tin-Can caches are a very cool idea, salik. JakobVirgil, check it out. If you had a coffee shop, you could definitely keep a Tin-Can hub going.
