Is there an app that I could install on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that would turn it into a Whiteboard that I could control from my Galaxy S4 or my home desktop PC?
I'd like this to put in my mother-in-law's room. At the moment, I'm using an actual whiteboard, where I maintain the Day and Date, any appointments coming up (she thinks she has one every day; in reality, it's one a month at most). Most importantly, it has the location of my wife (and me) and our phone numbers (m-i-l can drive a "steam" phone, but mobiles/smartphones are beyond her).
There are also answers to key questions, which come up about 40 times a day:
Q: Did you have a dog as a child. A: No, I was allergic to dogs.
Q: Was the bombing bad where you lived during WWII? A: No, I was still a sperm/ovum trying to meet, during WWII.
Keeping this up to date is a task that the tablet could do almost by itself, once I'd told it to display the Day and Date, and pertinent facts.
If there's nothing off the shelf, what are appropriate means of tempting a developer to build a bespoke app? I used to be a website author before I retired, and I could almost do this in a day, by setting a browser on the tablet to repeatedly fetch a webpage from the Apache server on my desktop PC (http://swiftys.org.uk/ but don't get excited; it's the dullest page on the web). However, I'd like the tablet display to be utterly void of any controls, because m-i-l is an inveterate finger-poker. She's probably avoid the buttons on the tablet (they're hard to find in the leather case that holds mine)
If I get all of this working, then I'll need the strangest Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessory: A flashing neon sign, saying "Read this" with an arrow pointing to the display...
