A BlueTooth-enabled Meteor mobile app?

Hi everyone

I came across an article today:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2015/06/10/chat-app-jott-teens-mesh-networks/

Jott is an app that uses Bluetooth to let users message one another.
Read the article to see that Jott has been adding 10,000 to 20,000 users per day

So I thought, I wonder if a Meteor based mobile app could do the same?
But add images, sounds, video etc?

Searching on atmospherejs.com for “bluetooth” returns no results. :frowning:

So I went off Googling, and found this:

Since I have no idea of how to create a package for Meteor that enables Bluetooth via PhoneGap,
I just thought I’d put the idea out there.

Imagine what sort of app could be created - and monetised - if it were in competition with Jott (but added lots more features) ?

Over to you! :smile:

Update:
This looks interesting:

From their homepage:
Develop BLE mobile applications

With the Brûlée Apache Cordova / PhoneGap Plugin you can develop BLE enabled cross-platform mobile apps for e.g. iOS and Android using JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3.

If you find a plugin you want to use in the Cordova registry: http://plugins.cordova.io/#/search?search=bluetooth

Using it is as easy as typing meteor add cordova:<package name>

Hi Sashko

Wow - thanks!
I’ll have a look, but as I said, I’m pretty much a real noob - just wanted to make the community aware of other things that could be integrated into a Meteor app…

And btw, thanks for your continued committment to Meteor. Its really nice to be able to interact with the core developers of a project.

Please also extend my best regards to @slava and all the others in the core dev team.
You’ve created something that an old man like me can really embrace.

Cheers, and all the best
Brad
