unfortunately I don't have the StackOverflow reputation to respond to anthropy's question, but Owntracks server was last published quite a while before the android version came out, the API may have changed
<mnutt>
but given that it works on oasis but not his local server, I'm more inclined to think that it's a problem with certs or possibly filesystem permissions or something
<mnutt>
regardless, I'm going to publish a new version. looks like they've added OSM support, which is a slight step up from google maps in terms of privacy, and might let us use a fully self-hosted version in the future
<TimMc>
Hmm, I wonder how large an OSM browsing app would be.

the way I envisioned it, you'd create a new grain, download whatever region file(s) you cared about from OSM, then drop them into the grain. that grain would expose an API that could be used by other apps
<mnutt>
such as owntracks, perhaps a photo management app that let you see your photos on a map, etc

Hi all. I'm working on a package wherein I would like to have access to a FileDrop file.
<ill_logic_>
So, I make a FileDrop grain, put my file in there. Then I make a grain of my app, and "import" the file from the FileDrop in the first grain.

Is that possible yet, and if so, where should I be looking?
<dwrensha>
not possible yet
<ill_logic_>
If I really wanted to hack it, I could use a share link, right?
<dwrensha>
share links are not redeemable by other apps
<dwrensha>
apps need to connect with each other through the powerbox
<ill_logic_>
okay
<ill_logic_>
I'll look up what powerbox can do.
<ill_logic_>
Oh that's the thing that lets you share a document in a Rocket.Chat. And that's still not enough for what I want to do?
<dwrensha>
when you embed a link in a Rocket.Chat, that link is only redeemable by humans
<ill_logic_>
"Create a survey form that feeds into a spreadsheet, attach a document to a chat message, or give a scheduling app access to your calendar."
<ill_logic_>
from /features
<ill_logic_>
Seems like it involves apps interacting with each others' data.
<dwrensha>
right, but not implemented yet :(
<ill_logic_>
ah! got it. okay, I'll check back in periodically then.
<ill_logic_>
I'll work on other aspects of my package then.
<ill_logic_>
Do you have any idea how soon this will work?
<dwrensha>
I think kentonv is currently focusing on app-to-app powerbox stuff pertaining to Etherpad
<dwrensha>
so perhaps in the "small number of weeks" timescale
<ill_logic_>
oh wow, awesome
<dwrensha>
actually, I think the low-level bits are all in place now
<ill_logic_>
that's fantastic.
<ill_logic_>
Great to see Sandstorm making this kind of progress.
<ill_logic_>
It's interesting though, it seems like it may ask a lot from the app developers to stay compatible with it (especially if they don't want to tightly couple to it)
