Create a Phosh App in 10 Minutes

[TRS-80]

I searched but did not find a thread about this, apologies if I missed it.



I have been investigating app development (especially on Phosh) and I came across a nice video from our very own @pizzalovingnerd the other day, showing just how easy it can be to whip up some little app, using Phosh and Python:

And from the looks of it, it is actually quite easy!




I just want to encourage anyone who has some interest in this area to pursue it!  If you are a student, retired, or otherwise have a little time on your hands and like to tinker and learn, there are a lot of little small and useful apps that could be written, for example:

• Some GUI to display GPS and cell tower data (like all those on Android)
  
• Some note capture app (customized to your liking)
  
• A todo.txt app (slightly more involved)
  
• There are some threads around with people requesting things (maybe we should link them here)
  
• Whatever grabs your interest
  

I was really struck by how easy it actually seems to develop on this platform, especially with Phosh and Python.  No JavaShit nor huge libraries / IDEs necessary like on Android (which I tried a couple times over the years but just gave up in disgust!).




I have to get back to work soon, but after watching that video I feel like it's only a matter of time until I try my hand at some small app development.




Feel free to discuss development, licensing issues, or whatever else you feel is related!
