Hi Timothy, > I've been working on a project called Nete that enables public > libraries/schools to very easily deploy their own mobile applications. The > intention is to make public libraries more accessible to a mobile-first > generation, and potentially more engaged with their patrons. > > I am looking for feedback, questions, resources I may find helpful, > contributors, testers, potential early adopters, etc. This looks very ambitious. We developed a mobile library app for several German university libraries but decided to do it as native application for iOS and Android: https://github.com/gbv/bibapp-android https://github.com/gbv/bibapp-ios Your approach looks very interesting also to see which technologies seem to be suitable today. Good luck! Jakob > I am not a librarian and have never worked as a librarian; public or > otherwise.
