Inspiration
Carl is an officer of the Husky Snow Club and had a problem of not having any available resources to issue virtual identification cards to his clubs members. Instead he had to resort to handing out laminated cards. It was amazing that there wasn't a very simple service where you could upload your id card and member data and have the cards generated for mobile.
What it does
This application allows organizations to link their membership data and upload membership card templates. Our mobile application then allows users to login into a single account and access all of their organization member cards, either loyalty or otherwise.
How I built it
We built it on a web platform for clients backed by a FireBase database. The demo images and videos for the mobile application are run on a proof of concept wire-frame system. The actual web-code is then on an HTML5UP framework which is in turn built on bootstrap. This is then customized, formatted and run by client side php.
Challenges I ran into
FireBase was a new and oddly problematic back end to connect to when compared to a simple SQL database. Also, we had a surprising amount of difficulty properly seting up and linking our domain.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
At about 8 this morning the code had become a useless buggy mess. I managed to do a full rewrite in 9 hours.
What I learned
If there is a pre-built tool out there. USE IT.
What's next for Indentico
Full development of the mobile application and linking of external database member sets to our own intern based on client defined anchors.
