Okay, pretty sure I've got spec'd out a thing that will work for bicyclists to report cars parked in bike lanes by opening browser &uploading picture (done!) Grabs location and date/time data from Exif, uses OpenALPR to read plate, submits to city via 311 API.

Originally was thinking even easier to submit via text message, but doing that strips out all the Exif metadata (tested with Twilio). Twitter also strips out that data. So trying out a simple "one big button" web site (click here to submit your picture) seems like best approach.

The qualitative goals here are: 1. Increase reports to hopefully increase enforcement 2. Collect data to be able to really understand the problem spots (and make a credible case to for enforcement in areas with a lot of problems)

Bonus! Use Progressive Web App feature (now in mobile safari!) to prompt user to bookmark as an app on their home screen. cc

Not sure I grok the exif point. Is that for authenticity? What about getUserMedia()?

Well I was thinking someone might take the pic and upload later I guess? But I also don't know your browser witchcraft, so open to better methods!

This outlines the options: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/media/capturing-images/ … Basically, you can make your thing a little camera app and fall back to file upload.
