Great work LocalWiki. This is a good way to build hyperlocal mobile/sms apps. I find myself usually scraping data off wikis, massaging it a bit, then building my own api endpoint to feed the mobile app.

I hope this one linked here is actually being built, can see a lot of folks re-using it. https://trianglewiki.org/Wanderful_App

Next step is to build a mobile app that feeds data back in (POST/PUT). Like YokoZar points out, it's a Sales task, not necessarily a difficult technical one.



You are in luck! I'm one of the developers working on the Wanderful app and it is very much being built. You can check us out at http://wanderful.co/


Cool, just installed it. Can you say anything about the platform it was built on, Cordova?


The current version of the app was built with Titanium, but I'm not sure that I can recommend it for nontrivial apps. The API still has plenty of gaps and the platform isn't as 'cross-platform' as we had hoped (there are plenty of controls and properties that are platform-specific.)
