After we got the shipping out of the way, let’s turn to more exciting things: the next version of ZugInfo. I already received a few feature request:
- Landscape mode for results
not sure about this one, maybe larger table cells instead…
- History & favorites
very reasonable, I will try my best
- “Zuglaufanzeige” (?)
Not sure, what that means. Maybe all stops and connections? You can find the on the second result screen (touch the connection)
- Switch start and destination
already implemented, just hit the arrows next to the input fields. I will try to make this more visible in the next version
I came up with a few ideas myself
- Add to calender & send connection by e-mail
IPhone specific cool stuff (and I believe, quite useful)
- Fare info & additional details
which also means, one has to set some preferences for the fare info
- Improved backend
- I hate that I am currently parsing the webpage. Maybe someone from Deutsche Bahn can contact me and allow me to use a stable interface – meanwhile, improve html parser, especially allow for parser update over the internet (this is probably quite some work, so don’t expect that in 1.1)
- Details view should also be table – I used a simple view to get a nice background, but it’s not about the background baby, it’s about functionality
Please add all your feature requests as comments to this post and I will see, what I can do.
