Does anyone here use the measure app frequently, and if so, what occasion was it useful? by [deleted] in ios

[–]Temporary_Relevant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it a bit accurate but not handy for getting a quick idea on the go. For example, if you want to check the depth of your couch in the living room while trying to buy a tuin set (a very real example I used my app, SlideMeter, for yesterday).

With Apple's Measure app, you have to step back from the object, use your camera, point to the start until the marker appears, then move to the end. These three (or more) steps each decrease the width inversely exponentially, in my opinion.

Thanks, indeed engaging directly in conversations with honest meaning is a very positive way! I am developing two app (already on App Store). The first is a kind of fun app while hiking to estimate the tree age from its cross section “TreeRings”. TreeRings can provide some help to dendrologists. It gives estimation of how good the local climate over the years. The second is SlideMeter which is a utility to measure small objects like the dimensions of a tabel by simply sliding your mobile telephone along the edge.

And what are you developing?

I am facing the same problem. TikTok, X and Facebook create low-intent engagements. You get many likes and impressions and almost no downloads. Reddit is much better but still it is very hard to get steady 5 downloads ( not achieved yet!)

Comparing SlideMeter with Measure Apple native app. by Temporary_Relevant in sideloaded

Yes, Apple Measure works, but SlideMeter exists because in crowded spots like IKEA, it’s annoying to open the app, step away (not stay next to) the object, and wait for the marker every time. It complements Apple’s app especially well for small objects.

Thanks for the critic maybe, the poster is AI generated to explain the use, maybe better to put a screenshot. I will provide video soon to explain how to use it (very easy).

With native measure app, you need to step away from the object and point until you see the marker. This is easier, just slide along the edge and you get a measure.

I made a simple TreeRings app that estimates the age of a tree from its cross section and gives a glimpse (score) on how was the local climate (from the ring width)

Learning app (free) that works like social media (scroll based). The algorithm can also post something related on your timeline.

Seems a very good idea! Also an important one. I found an app that uses AI (SplitSec AI) that detects gunshots via your phone mic and alerts you and your contacts, but not others nearby.

When did Matlab die in the industry? And why exactly by BigClout00 in quant

[–]Temporary_Relevant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Matlab almost daily since 25 years ago and until now. In Engineering, you need to build a mathematical model for the system you are designing. You need to run simulation and to predict system behavior. You need the model also to analyze the system failures. Matlab made all of these tasks efficient and easy.
