# Problem Statement
|
|
Custom spray applicators and farmers need records of weather conditions, product, and time when fields are sprayed
|
|
# Overall desires
|
|
- Lightweight and low cruft
|
|
- Works offline
|
|
- Log this information:
|
|
- Time sprayed (time in and out for event)
|
|
- Field sprayed
|
|
- Product and rate
|
|
- Other notes
|
|
- Weather data (from NOAA API is fine: https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api)
|
|

# Data format
|
|
Some options (multiple may be used, I suppose?)
|
|
1. .csv format
|
|
2. .xls format (one sheet per event?)
|
|
3. JSON/YAML/TOML/HCL/XML format
|
|
4. .pdf report
|
|
5. keep everything in a sqlite3db and allow queries / reports on it
|
|
# Data flow
|
|
## Option 1 - .csv files over Android "share" functionality
|
|
> Just attach the file with the android share functionality
|
|
## Option 2 - automatically send reports over email
|
|
> Use a passthrough email service, or hi-jack a user's email (email a file to yourself)
|
|
## Option 3 - dropbox/webDAV/etc. integration
|
|
> Automatically put reports into cloud storage |
