A Progressive Web App for paperless booth visit provisioning. Deployed to https://earthday.firebaseapp.com
- Define booth list on the firebase backend, and also provide the same data in the off-line default store (jsonp file)
- Generate RSA public/private keypair at http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/rsa2.html
- RSA library is extended with sign/decodeSign capability to accomodate our use-case
- Encode booth key for each booth and generate QR codes for them
- Distribute the QR codes (generated by http://goqr.me/, listed on https:/bulldogearthday/boothQRs
- Make sure the visitors only see the booth's QR code when they completed the booth's quest
- The visitor can then scan the QR code, unlocking the achievement
- Progressive Web Apps provide a way to have mobile app on multiple platforms without going through the hoops of releasing separate native apps into native app stores
- Progressive Web Apps work best with Chrome browser but with polyfill libraries other browsers could still provide the required features
- The user can take a picture of the specific QR code of a booth. The QR code will cryptographically prove that the individual visited the booth
- Using getUserMedia for visual capture (see e.g. https:/samdutton/simpl/tree/gh-pages/getusermedia)
- Using MediaStreamTrack for video source selection (https:/samdutton/simpl/tree/gh-pages/getusermedia/sources)
Using jsQR for QR scanning (https:/cozmo/jsQR)- Using Lazar Laszlo's https:/LazarSoft/jsqrcode
- Using http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/ for RSA encryption/decription
- The App should be able to operate off-line from cached data
- Firebase backend provides booth data
- The data is basically the list and properties of the booths
Fallback for browser which doesn't support getUserMedia- Computation server side for better security
- Minimize JS and even code to make cheating harder
- Minimize all assets (smaller icon data, minimize CSS too) for decrease load time and better bandwidth
- Inline everything together for faster experience
QR code would read automatically and no SCAN button needed- Improve cross-platform and cross-browser coverage - improved, but there's always more space for improvement
