Hey there!
In a nutshell: I made an app for us boaters! Keep reading please
Do we need another app? Maybe or maybe not. The thing is I found myself keeping a record on a map of all the places I moored my boat. The reason was simple. I wanted to prove to CRT that I did enough miles so they could not say anything.
Managing everything with a custom map on Google was becoming quite boring so since I work as an Android Developer I thought about making an app.
Over the last year, I worked in my spare time to make Float. It’s a free and open-source app for Android (iOS will come next). I put the essentials in the first version but my idea is to have a “democratic” way based on a voting system to decide what to add next. There are foundations for making a really useful app for us so if you are interested in helping me please give me a shout. Please have a look and read about it, download it, play with it, and give me your honest feedback. And I hope it’s gonna be useful!
App link: Google Play

I posted the app just today in the London Boaters FB group and someone posted about another app in alpha made by @Tasemu called Drift Diary. It's nice to see good ideas to improve our boat lives! I'm thinking it would be a good idea to join forces given we're essentially working in parallel? Float is open-source and the whole idea was to involve others, so let me know what you think 🙂
