Lugdulo'V: bike sharing application
 

Hi,
The second version of Lugdulo'V have been released, and I believe that it's the right time to advertise it.

Lugdulo'V is a Qt software allowing you to find availables bikes on bikes sharing systems. It's like
A Bike Now (on iPhone) or Cycloid (Android), except it works *everywhere* :p (tested on Windows, Linux, and Maemo).

You can search bikes and stations by position, name, or using a map.

Currently, more than 110 citiesare supported, and it's really
easy to support new networks by writting plugins. For example, it took me only one hour to write the Paris plugin !
If your city have such a network, try to write your own plugin and contact me so we can merge it into the next version !
There is no tutorial to write a plugin, but I wrote a skeleton plugin, and you can take a look to the two others, they
are really simple. Contact me if you need some help.

Web Page : http://xf.iksaif.net/dev/lugdulov.html
Maemo Package: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...dulov/0.2.2-2/

The Maemo version should is available in extra-testing, and you can also download it directly from my web page.

Technical part: it's all based on Views and Models. The StationsModel and StationsSortFilterProxyModel are used for everything
(including the map). I used a modified version of QMapControl for the map, but I've read that Nokia will probably add
some map features in Qt, so I'll switch to as soon as they are available ! Plugins are using QtPlugin stuff :).

I'm planning to add a lot of new plugins in next version. If your city has such a network, please contact me, or add a feature request in the bug tracker.
Thanks !

thank you! milan doesn't have a real sharing service, but thank you nonetheless!

Re: Lugdulo'V: bike sharing application
 

Looks great! London just installed their new bike hire system, i might be tempted in writing a plugin for it!

It's now on my to-do list!

Re: Lugdulo'V: bike sharing application
 

Lugdulo'v 0.2.1 is out, and available for 20 cities and 5 countries !

Re: Lugdulo'V: bike sharing application
 

Just realised it's written in C and not python (the language i *try* to program in) so i wont be able help much.

Think you could add London to this app? :D

I can provide info if needed.

Thanks!

Re: Lugdulo'V: bike sharing application
 

Hi,
London is on my TODO list for the next version. If you want to help, you can write a small python script that fetch stations informations. Then I'll translate it to a lugdulov plugin.

Re: Lugdulo'V: bike sharing application
 

Brilliant - thanks for this, will definately try it out when London is included....

Re: Lugdulo'V: bike sharing application
 

Would be great to have London added to this.

In case you hadn't see it, http://borisapi.heroku.com/ has an JSON or XML API for accessing the locations and status of the docking stations.
