***************** WORKFLOW MERGING PART

Android apps

    Sync (with Desktop)

    Syncthing !!!:
        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:
        ?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
:
        >> install OsmAnd + download the maps you need
        >> 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)
        see http://totalism.org/workflow (\Maps)
        
        Others:
            Google Maps (offline)
            Google My Maps
            ?Google Earth
            ?Google Streetvew (actually photosphere view?)
            ?Here maps (smooth, offline)
            Wikipedia (nearby, but also in marble and OsmAnd)

    Communication:
        WhatsApp
        Signal
        Telegram (Mobile + Desktop)
        Twitter (get tweets from X as notifications)
        ?Facebook(Lite)?
        ?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!

    Language:
        Learn:
            Duolingo (partly offline (no review / new topics))
            Memrise (fully offline)
            This via RSS / mail http://www.transparent.com/word-of-the-day/today/spanish.html
            Set your FB to spanish
            Movies: Accion Mutante, Los Chronocrimenes, Abre Los Ojos (original Vanilla Sky, still has Penelope Cruz) :)
        Translate:
            Google Translate (offline, offline voice too)

    Sensors:
        Sensors Test / Sensor Sense (incl. battery, sound dB, network, graphs with record->csv) / Sensorium
        >> all these can read Lux meter - can help determine best solar cell placement
        
        Wifi #TODO:
            Wifi Analyzer (nice graphs)
            Wigle (huge online DB)
            >> have some more documented ...
            >> also learn how to crack networks (WEP, WPS) + have rainbow stuff ready
        
        Security #TODO:
            >> 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)
            http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/31382/motion-detection-in-a-large-number-of-photos-from-a-webcam

    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 :)
            CamScanner / Office Lens... paper detection and flattening, OCR, ...
            Barcode scanner (includes obscure code formats)
            ...: color/image analysis, computer vision/machine learning
            Not an app:
                Google PlaNet, geolocation from image alone, 1000km median error for now - http://futurism.com/world-googles-superhuman-computer-knows-photo-taken/

    Sound/Noise:
        Pad:
            Saucillator
            Ethereal Dialpad
        Synth:
            EasySynth
            Common Analog/FM Synthesizer
            Music Synthesizer (responsive. chromatic keyboard)
    
    Other:
        Automate - task automation / programming flows ... looks powerful:
            "Snap photo" instead of google search! (drag up on O icon)!!!
            PROJECT: Could be used to setup a timelapse cam - leave an android somewhere cool for a day, snap image every 5min
        Red Moon - like f.lux / RedShift for android (set temperature (eliminate blue light), dim, ...)
        F-Droid - OSS "market" - bunch of alternative / hacker / edu apps
