    Suggestions for the Hot Air App 11/16/20

    By hotairballoonist in Tutorial Presentations

    This video was created back in November of last year.  Below is the email correspondence.  Sent 11-16-20
    You’re the best!

    Thank you for taking the time to watch.  I am not a developer at all.  I dabble at being a good cut and paste hacker and that is most likely all the further I will get in your arena.  I have so many other things on my plate from managing the HotAirBalloonist.com site and making tutorials and videos.  I also build websites for a few people too. 

    If you need any presentations or video tutorials made please let me know.  Especially when it comes to “How to use” features on the HotAirBalloonist.com website. 

    I am unsure if you knew or if I mentioned but my balloon flying career is over.  I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke earlier this year and no longer feel safe to fly passengers.  Here is an article I wrote after I had been home from the hospital for a few months.

     


    Please do not feel sorry for me in any way.  I am one of the luckiest people on the earth to still be here and be with my family.  I have lots to do on the web and here at my desk so my life is still quite full.

    All the best to you and THANK you for creating such a fantastic tool for so many  pilots.

    Jeff

    Hi Jeff — that was awesome!  I really appreciate the time you took putting that together and it is really clear to me now what you were thinking about in terms of the planning tools and the multiple color of markers.   I actually have MotionX still installed on my phone too (but didn’t use it much).  

    Also you are really good at explaining things and have a great narration style!

    The planning tool should be fairly easy to add and is a great idea.  The colored pins a little trick but will try to think of something.   But I have to solve one issue before I can work on those ideas and that is to re-write the Glympse integration as Apple has removed a key library that was required for it’s use in the last couple of iOS major versions — which means the App won’t currently compile (or run a new version) until that gets sorted out.   So that is sort of blocking me from adding new things like I normally like to do.  Another developer is trying to help me get past that issue….  When that happens these are at the top of my list for new features!

    Thanks again and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

    - Shawn
