Who wants to take over the Camera Scanner?
-
When I started using Ubuntu Touch, I started developing a document scanner app called Camera Scanner out of curiosity. It turned out I am much more interested into the tooling than app development itself. Many features I contributed to Clickable were inspired by my work on this app while the Camera Scanner only made some progress thanks to contributions from friends (Stefan, Krille, Cibersheep). It reached a state where it kind of works, but not very reliably and with little feedback to the user, making the user experience rather frustrating.
I would love if somebody would be motivated to put love into the Camera Scanner App to make it the great app it could be. If someone would want to "only" take care of the frontend, I'd still be available to put some more work into the backend.
The backend is mostly a C++ reimplementation of the Open Note Scanner backend (written in Java), but less configurable (yet). It makes use of OpenCV for image processing.

@jonius I hope someone will take the flame, it's a very usefull app to have on uTouch.
PS : i'm a simple user far from being able to dev anything.

@keneda thanks. I hope so, too.

Like @Keneda I'd not be very useful to get this app to do what it's supposed to do due to total lack of programming skills.
Just wanted to thank you for your efforts and hoping someone will make this a must have application.
Afaik it's the only app in the Open Store for this scanning purpose I'm desperately looking for. I was thrilled to see the native camera app working since OTA-16 stable and I couldn't wait to use your app, unfortunately it's not working as it should on my Oneplus 3T.
All the best for your tooling endeavours!
