Re: PBCex tools for using inlinec and making static libs

Re: Stupid idea for an app for car buddies - need some feedback

I did a tracker for yachts but problem is location tracking on a web page requires it stays open and visibly active so you really need to go native with android and iPhone apps so it can do it in the background. I didn't bother doing it as the cell reception is flakey on the courses.

Re: Old Schoo Coding Style

Depends on what your doing.
You can use Bindevent to call a procedure or use ev = event() which I asume wraps a fifo list.
