TUS Mobile Application
XanKriegor:
Right after a match WA shows a QR code you scan with a smartphone and get instant report on TUS ::)
Kradie:
This TUS application, what permission does it require out of your phone to be operable?

Only internet access obviously. (I have no interest of spying on anyone, if that's your concern)

I guess, QR can contain all needed data but the replay file of course. Also reports can stay not published until the winner come to TUS and back up the report with replay files, game ID can be used to juxtapose a replay with its report if the winner offer a bunch of replays to TUS. Replays should not be transferred to the site in this case, only IDs, no need to create unneccesary traffic. This feature would be useful to help people who keep forgetting to report, or who they played with or what scheme it was etc.
I started to learn web coding, i want climb this industry and maybe can be useful for TUS one day.

For example, I would like to receive notifications if someone uploaded a new scheme on TUS. But this is me, most people I believe wouldn't like to receive notifications about that. So, the app should let you choose which notifications do you want to receive. Most people would like to receive notifications about Private/Direct messages or replies in forum posts. Others would like to be notified about cups or tournaments happening. Others would like to be notified about new challenges or even new maps. I believe the notifications would be a great feature to an app version of The Ultimate Site of Worms.

I agree. It should be extensive. If someone reports a game against me, make a better record than me in a challenge, if a tournament I joined has started, or if someone posts on a thread I have posted, I would like to be notified.
Maybe a better looking DM interface for mobile would be nice? You know, something people can actually use. Like instead of creating a discord server or whatsapp group, people should be able to use clan/group dms here. Maybe DMs itself need some polishing, to allow things like group messages.
Btw a wild idea, but I gotta ask since TUS can snatch data from replay such as the map, chat etc. How about automatically creating MP4 GIFs of some replays by using WA's export video feature? Imagine you sending a TTRR run for a challenge, TUS automatically creates an MP4 for mobile users to watch. If it is possible to extract audio too, you could even have TUS YT channel for all the replays.

Maybe an even easier way is to have a bot like HostingBuddy to host TUS games and it can report automatically on behalf of winner. A bot hoster can also prevent things such as map-whoring, or even avoiding if we also put matchmaking into the equation. You start matchmaking, if you get a match, you're sent a password for the game the bot will host. So, no outsiders, only league players, and their friends possibly as spectators.
Hell, why stop with mobile app, maybe a PC app with features of TUS and a snooper.
Obviously, I don't expect everything I say to become reality. I am already grateful for what we have. I am just brainstorming. :D
