50 Word Description: My goal is to expand on the app Notes Plus and make it possible for you to take pictures of notes and have it convert into text that you can then edit and create a stylus that will work just like a pencil does with pointed and accurate tip. The opportunities are endless.
We must keep it simple to the viewer, but on the technical side it can be a sophisticated as it needs to be. Security is huge issue in todays world, especially security of your computer and accounts. When you make a new account on a website, you are trusting your information with this this company to ensure that everything stays secure and private. While on your side this may looks easy, it is difficult for the company to ensure this, and they will commit a lot of time and money into the security of your information.
With my note taking app you may wonder why this may be such a significant issue, but I am certain it is. If you were to use the sync feature that automatically transfers your notes from your iPad to your computer, you will want to make sure that it gets there without any issues. While notes for a class may not be as significant as a credit card, it still requires that the network that the information is traveling though must be kept secure. If there is a breach in the network then your information could be deleted and who would you blame? Me. Yes, you would blame me if your information disappears. That is why it is my responsibility to take all necessary measures to have a secure network.
I mentioned in my first post about how we can expand this app. More specifically allowing us to view our online textbooks (ebooks) within the app. If you purchase an online textbook from Pearson and they give you a special code you will need to have an account and password to access your text. Well, we would need to make sure that when you enter your Pearson information it stays private through our servers and to Pearson's servers for verification. Security can never be over looked no matter how small or big the business may be.
Your idea is a relatively simple improvement, but I think it's a great addition. Working with apps like Notes Plus can get frustrating at times and your improvements would help a lot. It's a very feasible and practical upgrade.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, this idea is very creative. People get lazy to write down notes and would much rather take a picture of them. However most professors put notes available online so most college students would'nt bother using this app. Im glad you thought about the security aspect. Like you said peoples computers are a great resource of information, and it needs to be protected.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. As a student I have gone through many different note taking strategies, but I have found that I personally learn best by hand writing notes. However, when going back and studying it would be very nice for my notes to be more legible and editable. I agree that it is always important to look at security. In addition to what you said about protecting your notes, you wouldn't want your application to get any bugs and give all the users a virus.
