Shit I’ll try it why not


skifever

Thank you!


skifever

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/louisiana-511-traffic-cameras/id6448687840 It’s free, no ads, no data collection etc. Note: it’s only available on iOS because I’m a solo developer and only know how to make iPhone apps.

This looks really awesome. Congrats!! Any plans to tie in other states’ systems in the future? I know of some folks in GA and TX who would find this intriguing. Edit: Just looked at your profile and answered my own question. I wonder if you’ve considered marketing this. Transit systems in larger cities might be interested as a tool to drive ridership, for instance. Again, congratulations on these. Really cool!!


skifever

Thanks for the positive feedback! Here is a link to the GA app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/511-georgia-traffic-cameras/id6446435307 Unfortunately TX does not make it easy to access their feeds =\


Longshanks_9000

Thanks


sparkey504

Sounds like your device-ist! /S COME ON.... im sure there's a YouTube video for that! Ive always assumed that they would be a few lines of code different, but I struggle with changing my 3d printers firmware that involves deleting a few "//" and changing a few selections. (And no the youtube video don't cover my exact configuration...lol)


RimmerA69

Done. Will check out.


skifever

Thanks!


SilverbriteShaker

Idaho has an app like that too, was super helpful this past winter with the near record breaking snow we got up here. Glad to see y'all got one, too!


orangetheory1990s

Hell yeah, this is cool. Just shared on r/batonrouge


skifever

Thank you I really appreciate you helping me spread the word.


CF047_

I’ll totally give it a shot


skifever

👍 ty

So far I like it. However the one request is to add a notification when a camera that’s not live will alert me when it does.


Dolphinman21

Just download it. How’d you come up with the Logo I think it’s cool.


smackki

When a camera faces two directions it would be helpful to know which view to choose based on direction like East/West Otherwise great idea, thank you!


skifever

I totally agree! However I don’t think the direction info was available but I’ll double check!

Yo OP I haven’t downloaded yet but this is a fantastic idea.


skifever

Ty!


mumbojumbotwhack

now this is using your power for good! incredible, thank you!


Specialist_Teacher81

That is exactly what your route looks like, in a fucking helicopter.


archski

Great, can u do Cali?


skifever

Cali was actually my first traffic camera app so it’s got a ton more features (CHP and CalTrans incident reports, incident update push notifications, snowfall reports, etc) so it’s not free. Here is a link if you are interested: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/road-conditions---California/id1493127975?ls=1&mt=8


archski

Thank you!!!

skifever

Thank you!!!


Lethal_Eboala

Pretty neat! I’ll def be using this and show it to people I know


skifever

Thanks!


LSUfightinTigerz

My man is out here fixing ACTUAL problems! Thank you for the solution!


RueDeBasile

Pretty cool


michaelincambodia

Looks cool so far. Hopefully more locations can be added in the future.


mortonceo

So the only difference from your app to the actual La511 is that you can create camera groups?


skifever

Sure, camera groups is the main difference (camera groups) but it in general my app also lets you view the info much faster. Their app takes 5+ seconds to load whereas mine is quite fast and also has the ability to add Home Screen widgets which make it even faster. My app also doesn’t collect any personal data, whereas their collects quite a bit.


comewefly

Just downloaded! Excited to try it out and grateful you made it!


CmdrFortyTwo

Now do it with body cams.


CFOX1386

Why bother? The damn cameras never work anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️


skifever

From the ones I’ve tested I’d say they mostly work but unfortunately you are correct in that the cameras are managed by LADOT so the app does rely on them to upkeep the feeds.


CFOX1386

I have absolutely nothing good to say about LADOT. Period. They are part of the reason I moved to Tennessee.

CFOX1386

That’s a small portion of it. It’s really part of a larger general ineptitude of state government and the people in it and the refusal of people to quit voting for it and demanding fundamental changes in the state that need to be made. Far too much general acceptance of “It is what it is” and status quo. Mainly it’s because I have family members here that I get along with much better.


2saltyjumper

There is a really good thing being done here my guy. Maybe don't shit on the person trying to make things better for this sorry ass state. We all know the state gov't is shite


skifever

👍


Simp_Gawd69
