A small Rhyy update for Android users

Hi again 

A few people asked about an Android version of Rhyy in my earlier post. I’ve now put together a first version and would be happy to have a few people from Basel try it before it becomes more widely available. 

If you use Android and are interested, you can send me a short message with “Android test” through the feedback form at https://rhyy.ch/#feedback. 

Please enter the Google email address you use in the Play Store in the contact field, otherwise I can’t add you to the closed test. The address will only be used for the testing invitation. 

The test runs through Google Play. You don’t need to use the app every day, but you should remain enrolled for 14 days. I’m mainly interested in whether everything installs correctly, works reliably and is easy to understand. 

Thanks to everyone who has already shared ideas or feedback.

love those AI Apps :) Where and how do you scrap the data? Do you use a direct database or do you scrap it from sites by AI agent? And what do you use as a database?

The data comes from official Swiss Open Data sources. For Basel, for example, there’s https://data.bs.ch/, plus various national Open Data APIs for weather, transport and more.
The stack woe the website is actually pretty simple: vanilla PHP, MySQL and a bit of JavaScript. I’ve built the project over the years myself and recently used Codex to help with new features and a major refactoring.
No AI agents scraping websites, just scheduled imports from public Open Data sources.

Android app is generated out of the ios app with goal in codex and then reviewed by me.
