I have an idea for an app for a Mobile Phone that I'd like to have developed. I found this site and it seems like the perfect place to find a developer who can do what I want.
The project is one that has an initial deliverable but which could have follow on work if successful. My vision is to do it for Java or BREW in order to sell it on US carrier on-phone download sites, but it could also work as a Palm OS app or Windows Mobile. Ideally the work could be done in such a way that it could be ported to these other platforms. Here's the idea:
Turn your Mobile Phone into a supercharged grilling timer
GrillCall Perfect Burger Edition (proof of concept)
Cheeseburger Cooking Flow Example (for Gas Grill)
Legend:
• Dialog
o Instruction text within dialog
** Button
• Start Cooking (initial dialog upon opening application)
o GrillCall Perfect Cheeseburger Edition
** 'Start Cooking' button (starts the cooking flow process)
• Preheat It (dialog)
o Light grill and turn all burners to High, temp should be at least 500 degrees f
** 'Start 15 Min Preheat Timer' button (initiates 15 minute timer)
15 minutes later, cooking cue reminder causes the phone to ring and/or vibrate and presents the Preheat It dialog again with 2 button options this time:
• Preheat It (dialog)
o Has the Grill temp reached 500 degrees f?
** 'Preheat 5 More Minutes button' (initiates this loop)
** 'Start Grilling' button (goes to the Sear It dialog)
• Sear It (dialog)
o Place burgers on the grill with good spacing in between
o Close grill lid
** 'Start Searing' button (initiates 2 minute timer)
2 minutes later, cooking cue reminder causes the phone to ring and/or vibrate and presents the following dialog:
• Turn It (dialog)
o Turn each burger 1/4 turn to get perfect crisscross grilling marks
o Close grill lid
** 'It’s Turned' button (initiates 2 minute timer)
2 minutes later, cooking cue reminder causes the phone to ring and/or vibrate and presents the following dialog:
• Flip It (dialog)
o Turn center burner OFF and turn front and rear burners to MED
o Flip each burger and position towards the center of the grill
o Close grill lid
** 'It’s Flipped' button (initiates 4 minute timer)
4 minutes later, cooking cue reminder causes the phone to ring and/or vibrate and presents the following dialog:
• Cheese It (dialog)
o If you’re making cheeseburgers, this is the time to add the cheese
** 'It’s Cheesed' button (initiates final 1 minute timer)
** 'No Cheese' button (does the same thing)
1 minute later, cooking cue reminder causes the phone to ring and/or vibrate and presents the following dialog:
• Check It (dialog)
o The food should be done.
** 'Add A Minute' button (initiates 1 minute timer)
** 'Let’s Eat' button ends cooking flow
Either end the cooking flow or go into an "Add a Minute" loop until completed.
