GREETING

Nice to meet you, I'm TinyKitten.

Nice to meet you. I am a developer of TrainLCD and a freelance engineer under the trade name "TinyKitte". Please feel free to call me "Kittan. Thank you very much for using TrainLCD. If you haven't used it yet, please give it a try. This time, we have made a special commemorative website to celebrate the four-year anniversary of TrainLCD's development. The scope of my responsibilities at TrainLCD is everything. I developed the app, programmed the server side, did the infrastructure, and designed the site. I also have friends help me with data entry and test apps before they are released to the store. I manage to find time to make this app as a personal hobby, so if you would like to write a review for the store, I would appreciate it if you would be as kind as possible.

*1: Development of the TrainLCD application began on July 1, 2019.
*2: Infrastructure here refers to cloud computing services such as GCP.

HISTORY

Introductory session for the original TrainLCD app

I had the opportunity to give a session on the development of the original TrainLCD application at a "Pronama" event in Tokyo. The concept of the app at the time was different again, but technically almost identical.

Started TrainLCD development

I started development on a whim. At first, rather than reproducing a train guidance system, I started with a light hearted thought, "I originally implemented an API that only returns nearby stations, so there is no need to reproduce it, but it would be interesting to have a navigation application with roughly the same look and feel."

Now available on App Store/Google Play

We started releasing the app on the App Store/Google Play in the hope that more people would use it if we released it on the app store.
