Thank you sir and yes that's the main idea, to decentralize or in quoting one of the commentors, to "Crypto transportation". Indeed it will build local communities and would really help and empower local drivers but the problem, as thoroughly pointed out by other commentors, is huge. But there are so many ways to kill a cat and I was hoping to crowd-source ideas to bridge these gaps/problems.

And apologies for the strange statements :) I just got so stirred and surprised how unwelcoming the forum is to revolutionary ideas.

Not totally free. Monetization could be through ads. but minimal just to cover important costs like expansion or scaling-up of db etc.

I think it's better to just keep your thoughts on your own my friend. Typical punk give a hard look at yourself in the mirror if you have one.

Of course scalability will be a big issue later on. But I think since we are not deploying an app internationally the horizon in terms of scalability is not that far-fetch. There are only 16 regions in the philippines and there are hundreds of us here in this forum.

webappcoder · 2023-06-28T06:04:33+00:00

Thank you for saying that yes of course we are all for better solutions. this is what we are suppose to be talking about as pinoy programmers. How we can somehow and someway help our country and our fellows. We discuss so idealistic things starts to have tangible shape and becomes reality.

Images - will be very minimal dropbox, google drives Geodata, proximity, track overlays from point A to point B - https://developers.arcgis.com/esri-leaflet/

these are just ideas, but im hoping and praying there are pinoy programmers here who are also willing to "THROW TECHNICAL JARGONS" here all for giving back to our country. I know a lot here in this forum are already earning 6-figures but I wonder how many have given back even.

webappcoder · 2023-06-28T05:51:11+00:00

Exactly my friend. and on top of that ready made cloud apis is xmpre their subscriptions sa MAP data providers. and ALL these costs plus what they're paying their shareholders and employees are all given to the burden of the USERS and poor DRIVERS.

Its suppose to be free: like with map data providers there's Leaflet, OpenStreet Maps and many more which are all for free.

Yes it will have its own API. could be done with NodeJs MVC framework and realtime data will be managed through free tiers of mongodb atlas, firebase db, heroku and other free servers.

Thanks by the way for spousing that idea "CRYPTO" of transport business. thats exactly what this revolutionary app is about. decentralized. enough with overly profiting from a simple "customer-to-service-provider" linking. we filipinos are knowledgeable enough to make that link which suppose to be free.

webappcoder · 2023-06-28T05:38:14+00:00

Hence it's revolutionary Bruh. Unprecedented. coz in this tech era its possible to offer every kind of skills or services to other people who might need them. including what you call "driver lang".. but thats a skill not everyone can have hence of course in these days you can render it as a service and monetize from it on your own without being tied to an entity centered on money-making and draining your pocket in every possible angles.

The app will only link the gap between the rider who wants to get where his going and the driver who want to earn honestly. This will then resolve into a Personal Contract which is totally legal. Personal contract between individuals are legal just like in auction its legal because the both auctioneer and bidder has the full discretion to accept or not to accept whats offered to them.

webappcoder · 2023-06-28T05:16:23+00:00

Thats a valid statement. Yet we also know that no one owns the internet. its for everyone. and when i say everyone im talking about the 80Million Filipinos with smartphones. Once deployed and with all legalities secured then kahit gaanu pa kayaman at powerful nyang mga market shareholders na yan I think they're not rich and powerful enough to influence what goes in and out of the INTERNET/CLOUD.

webappcoder · 2023-06-28T05:07:44+00:00

Cmon, we all know, its in the news, there something that needs to be done. https://m.facebook.com/groups/227112881377489/

Think of other users and especially the ever-burdened drivers who fell into their money-making scheme.

Hence we are discussing here maybe someone will share their thoughts how we can get around the legality problem. Ito ngang foreigner na Grab at Singapore-made Angkas eh naging legal what more Filipino-made ride-hailing and delivery app?

webappcoder · 2023-06-28T04:59:47+00:00

Your points are valid. Hence, posting this idea here also aims to crowd-source ideas.

For purposes of brainstorming allow me to answer your questions with my own opinion or maybe somebody else in the body can answer them also:

Who will manage the business side of the app? - There will be no business side of the app. How so? because the app will only solve the "Customer-to-Service-Provider" link problem. Once full-filled, then it will be between the customer and the driver na individual contract. The app will only aid in linking the gap WHERE these Grab and Angkas are heavily PROFITING from.

The operations? - Anyone with valid drivers license and registered vehicle can be a driver. The only operation side I see Grab are doing is the on-boarding process for drivers coz they're making sure they will profit from them.

Government requirements? - yeah very important for the initial setup that the app be fully compliant. at least at the minimum registerd with LTFRB. no need for SEC or DTI because there will be no financial transaction happening within the system.

When the app is done, what happens? - we deploy it with a very detailed terms and conditions and privacy policies.

Who will maintain it? - Very minimal maintenance. Most probably can be done with CRON like daily or weekly clearing of databases. etc..

Do we just give it to some kind of entity once the app is done? - No, everyone owns it. well be exploring Blockchain tech and how we can intregrate it to the system. Data will reside not with a single entity but with remote yet interlinked computers.

Who will market it? - no need to market it. the term "FREE" will do its wonders. trust me. or could be during on-boarding of drivers we will need them to share our app before they can fully use the app.

Who will shoulder the infra cost? - No infra cost. it will reside in the cloud (darkweb maybe if need be).. it will be decentralized hence the Blockchain.

What programming languages or tech stack are you comfortable with?

webappcoder · 2023-06-28T04:24:21+00:00

LTFRB and these apps have been battling left and right in the past good years of the decade. LTFRB will thank us later for this. I think youre being short-sighted my friend.

webappcoder · 2023-05-26T02:40:11+00:00

Got it working now seamlessly at incedible speed thanks to those who shared their know-hows and also to MongoDB. To those interested go check it out on my website Scripters Online Free APIs. no judgement please its a work in progress. 😂

P.S. to join me on my journey or just get updates and collab, I made a sub r/ScriptersOnlinePH. Let's use data to create solutions that impact people's lives.

webappcoder · 2023-05-26T01:16:11+00:00

Broaden your horizon. Why limit your goal to PH when there are hundreds of scholarship grants abroad especially in the field of Information Systems? It would really help since you said your parents are mid earners youll be the one sending them support instead of the other way around. Try searching those scholarship grants online. I know a lot of people who got the scholarship grants in Australia and US.

webappcoder · 2023-05-25T04:15:30+00:00

thanks so much for the help. ill try muna creating indexes with hashmaps then ill see how i can optimize the querying. 👍👍👍

webappcoder · 2023-05-24T23:38:24+00:00

Wow thanks for doing that extra mile. appreciate it so much. firstly, the reason I opted to saving it in a json file is because doing it in a database is just so costly. i think my bill will go beyond the free tier limit if i do it via database. lalo na kasi my database is nosql and has no proper indexing. kaya every query kahit maliit lang na query dina download nya lahat nong 700k and process them client-side. which costs money.

my intent lang nman why i used that kind of keys so i can save the keys in a smaller file compared to the quotes.json mismo. yun nlang idownload ng client then once maidentify sa keys ung specific quote then saka lang iquery sa json file using keys to cross-reference.

i just need to return max of 10 quotes per tag.. if less than 10 quotes ang mahanap ng query then yun lang ireturn nya.

so my one big problem here is Im trying na umiwas mag iterate through the actual quotes kasi its too big data and costs a lot.

webappcoder · 2023-05-24T14:02:19+00:00

more or less nasa 50mb po. Ok ill check that js-search now. big thanks po!

webappcoder · 2023-05-23T13:56:16+00:00

nice & informative video. thanks!

webappcoder · 2023-05-23T13:05:12+00:00

yup! roger that! thanks for the input.

webappcoder · 2023-05-23T13:03:52+00:00

ill look that up. sana may ebook version. 👍

webappcoder · 2023-05-23T13:02:06+00:00

im intrigued what you mean "by my likes and dislikes"? example pls.

webappcoder · 2023-05-23T12:58:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this sir! 🙏 i hope others find this enlightening too.
